    Volume 2, Number 1 " December 1988 The Research Laboratory of Electronics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology MATERIALS RESEARCH: Meeting the Challenge of Microelectronics Technology Since the discovery of the transis- tor at Bell Laboratories in 1947, scien- tists have been challenged by the need to produce materials for highly minia- turized and increasingly fast micro- electronic components. Driven by the technology of the information age, sci- entists have examined the unique properties of semiconductors, funda- mentally exploited new combinations of these novel materials, and devel- oped innovative design techniques to miniaturize electronic components. At the heart of this research is the ever- shrinking and exceedingly complex in- tegrated circuit microchip. In addition, the development of microscaled tran- sistors and other electronic compo- nents has resulted in systems with larg- er and faster capabilities, particularly for information processing and high- speed communication.

This is shown gate FinFET devices, planar Ultra-thin body SOI (UTSOI) in TABLE I. [5] FET’s, and, more recently, independently oriented surface channels for (110) pMOS and (100) nMOS described as Table 1: 2003 ITRS Roadmap for High Performance Logic[5] Simplified Hybrid Orientation Technology (SHOT).[1-4, 7- 18] have been reported. SHOT FEOL integration for FinFETs can be combined on the same wafer as planar PDSOI and UTSOI MOSFETs [18]. According to International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS) guidelines [5] 20nm silicon layers with +/-5%, 6V uniformity will be needed in 2004 timeframe[8] to guarantee threshold voltage ( Vt ) control [6]. Bonded Silicon on Insulator (SOI) processes that achieve +/- 10 A film thickness have been shown [6] for these Ultra-Thin SOI (UT-SOI) devices at the 65nm node and beyond. UT- SOI devices combined with SHOT (110) pMOS and (100) nMOS oriented surface channels offer optimizeed channel carrier mobility as well meeting issues of threshold voltage levels[4-18].
