Abstract
An ETSOI transistor and a combination of capacitors, junction diodes, bank end contacts and resistors are respectively formed in a transistor and capacitor region thereof by etching through an ETSOI and BOX layers in a replacement gate HK/MG flow. The capacitor and other devices formation are compatible with an ETSOI replacement gate CMOS flow. A low resistance capacitor electrode makes it possible to obtain a high quality capacitor, and devices. The lack of topography during dummy gate patterning are achieved by lithography in combination accompanied with appropriate etch.

A method of forming semiconductor structures on a semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) substrate comprising:
- forming in a first region an extremely thin semiconductor-on-insulator (ETSOI) transistor on an ETSOI layer superimposed on a buried oxide (BOX) layer, said ETSOI transistor comprising a dummy gate bounded by a spacer and raised source and drain (RSD) abutting at said spacer;
- replacing said dummy gate by depositing a high-k dielectric followed by depositing a metal gate thereon;
- and
- forming in a second region coplanar to said ETSOI transistor, one or more capacitors having a first electrode formed by said doped RSD region of said ETSOI, a second electrode formed by said metal gate, having said high-K dielectric separating said first electrode from said second electrode;
- forming at least one pn junction diode by selectively recessing said ETSOI and said BOX, filling said junction diode with said metal gate forming one contact to a first terminal, wherein said metal gate contact is electrically isolated from said ETSOI and RSD by said high-K gate dielectric and spacer;
- forming one or more back gate contact by recessing said SOI and said BOX, and epitaxially growing back to form a planar contact;
- and
- forming one or more resistors following said replaced dummy gate, by recessing said ETSOI and said BOX layers and filing said recesses using an epitaxial growth.
A method of forming an on-chip semiconductor structure comprising:
- forming on an ETSOI layer of an SOI substrate, a first dummy gate in a transistor region and a second dummy gate in a capacitor region, surrounding each of said dummy gates by spacers;
- forming on said ETSOI layer a raised source and drain (RSD), said RSD abutting at said spacers;
- removing by etching said first dummy gate from said transistor and said capacitor regions;
- forming a trench in each of said transistor and capacitor regions;
- depositing high-k dielectric followed by metal gate in each of said removed dummy gates in said transistor sand capacitor regions;
- forming said on-chip semiconductor structure further comprising at least one of any number and combination of steps comprising:
- Step A:
- one or more capacitors isolated from said ETSOI transistor coplanar with said ETSOI transistor and having a first electrode formed by a highly doped RSD region of said ETSOI, forming a second electrode by said metal gate with said high-K dielectric separating said first electrode from said second electrode;
- Step B:
- one or more diodes by recessing said ETSOI and said BOX, filling said pn junction diode with said metal gate as one contact to a first terminal, wherein said metal gate contact is electrically isolated from said ETSOI and RSD by said high-K gate dielectric and spacer;
- Step C:
- one or more back gate contacts formed by recessing said SOI and said BOX, and said epitaxial grow back to form a planar contact;
- and
- Step D:
- one or more resistors following said removal of said dummy gate, by recessing said ETSOI and said BOX layers and forming an epitaxial growth.
