Abstract
A silicon-germanium non-formation region not formed with a silicon germanium layer and a silicon-germanium formation region formed with a silicon germanium layer are provided in a silicon chip, an internal circuit and an input/output buffer are arranged in the silicon-germanium formation region, and a pad electrode and an electrostatic protection element are arranged in the silicon-germanium non-formation region.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . A semiconductor device manufacturing method comprising:
selectively forming on a silicon substrate a blocking layer that blocks an epitaxial growth of a silicon germanium layer on the silicon substrate; selectively epitaxially growing the silicon germanium layer on the silicon substrate using the blocking layer as a mask; removing the blocking layer from the silicon substrate after the selectively epitaxially growing the silicon germanium layer on the silicon substrate; forming a first semiconductor element on the silicon substrate by using the silicon germanium layer that is selectively epitaxially grown; and forming a second semiconductor element on the silicon substrate without using the silicon germanium layer that is selectively epitaxially grown.
2 . The semiconductor device manufacturing method according to claim 1 , wherein the blocking layer is a silicon oxide film, a silicon nitride film, or a phospho-silicate-glass (PSG) film.
3 . The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein the second semiconductor element is a P-channel field-effect transistor.
4 . The semiconductor device manufacturing method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
forming an element isolation region on the silicon substrate; forming a gate electrode on the silicon substrate that is element-isolated by the element isolation region, via a gate insulating film; forming a sidewall on a lateral side of the gate electrode; and forming a recess on the silicon substrate between the element isolation region and the sidewall to sandwich a channel region beneath the gate electrode, wherein the silicon germanium layer is selectively epitaxially grown on the silicon substrate to embed the recess with the silicon germanium layer.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
