Epi SiGe Application Using METRION In-Line SIMS System
By Nova - 07 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 0

The epitaxial process is a well-established deposition technique in semiconductor fabrication because it enables the ability to achieve much higher doping concentrations than can be obtained via ion implantation. As we move toward <5nm technology, a key process for enabling gate-all-around FET (GAAFET) is the stacked multi-lattice of Silicon (Si) and Silicon-germanium (SiGe) epi process for ... » read more

Evaluation Of The Impact Of Source Drain epi Implementation On Logic Performance Using Combined Process And Circuit Simulation
By Coventor - 17 Feb, 2021 - Comments: 0

In this paper, we explore an end-to-end solution using SEMulator3D to address the need to include process variation effects in circuit simulation. For the first time, we couple SEMulator3D with BSIM compact modeling to evaluate process variation impacts on circuit performance. The process integration goal of the study was to optimize contacts and spacer thickness of advanced-node FinFETs in ter... » read more

Upturn Seen For Silicon Wafer Market
By Mark LaPedus - 19 Nov, 2020 - Comments: 0

After a downturn in 2019, the silicon wafer market is expected to rebound in 2020. 2021 looks even better for silicon wafers. Silicon wafers are a fundamental part of the semiconductor business. Every chipmaker needs to buy them in one size or another. Silicon wafer vendors produce and sell bare or raw silicon wafers to chipmakers, who in turn process them into chips. The silicon wafer ma... » read more

Mobility Gets A Boost With Expanded Epi Applications
By Applied Materials Writers - 17 Jul, 2013 - Comments: 0

By Jeremy Zelenko Even as industry moves into the era of the high k metal gate (HKMG) and FinFET transistor, chipmakers continue to seek ways to improve device performance. One of the latest advances and the subject of an Applied Materials announcement made today is to extend epitaxial deposition from PMOS to NMOS transistors. Implementing an NMOS epitaxy (epi) process in addition to the estab... » read more
