Abstract

See full text

A semiconductor process and apparatus includes forming PMOS transistors (90) with enhanced hole mobility in the channel region by forming a hydrogen-rich silicon nitride layer (91, 136) on or adjacent to sidewalls of the PMOS gate structure as either a hydrogen-rich implant sidewall spacer (91) or as a post-silicide hydrogen-rich implant sidewall spacer (136), where the hydrogen-rich dielectric layer acts as a hydrogen source for passivating channel surface defectivity under the PMOS gate structure.
