Low temperature selective epitaxial growth of SiGe(:B) for pMOS FD-SOI transistors

Emerging materials and processes for nanotechnologies and microelectronics Engineering sciences Materials and applications Technological challenges

Abstract

As silicon technologies for microelectronics continue to evolve, processes involved in device manufacturing need to be optimized. More specifically, epitaxy, a crystal growth technique, is being used to fabricate 10 nm technological node FD-SOI (Fully Depleted-Silicon On Insulator) transistors as part of CEA-Leti's NextGen project. Doped and undoped Si and SiGe semiconductor epitaxy is being developed to improve the devices' electrical performances. The thesis will focus on selective SiGe(:B) epitaxy for channels and source/drains of pMOS transistors. A comparison of SiGe and SiGe:B growth kinetics will be made between growth under H2, the commonly used carrier gas, and N2. Innovative cyclic deposition/etching (CDE) strategies will also be evaluated, with the aim of lowering process temperatures.
