ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor device having a fluorine-enhanced transistor with elevated active regions and process for fabricating such a device is provided. A semiconductor device, consistent with one embodiment of the invention, includes a substrate and at least one pair of elevated active regions disposed on the substrate. A fluorine-bearing barrier layer is disposed over the substrate between the elevated active regions. A high permittivity layer is disposed over the barrier layer and between the elevated active regions. Finally, a gate electrode is disposed over the high permittivity layer. In some embodiments, a thin insulating layer is disposed between the gate electrode and the high permittivity layer. The thin insulating layer and the fluorine-bearing barrier layer may, for example, both be formed of a topaz, while the high permittivity layer may, for example, be formed from a manganese oxide.
