摘要:
A low voltage field effect transistor structure (20) is provided with a threshold voltage that is tolerant of process variations that alter the location of a source implant region (41). A first halo region (33) and a second halo region (36) are formed adjacent to source region (41) such that after subsequent thermal processing, a constant doping profile of opposite conductivity as source region (41) is formed in the channel region (23) adjacent the source region (41). The embodiments can be formed either adjacent to only the source region (41) to create a unilateral device, or the doping profile can be formed adjacent to both source region (41) and a drain region (40) to produce a bilateral device. An additional embodiment forms a second implant region in source region (41) to reduce junction leakage and capacitance.
摘要:
Insulated gate field effect transistors (10, 70) having process steps for setting the V T and a device leakage current which are decoupled from the process steps for providing punchthrough protection, thereby lowering a subthreshold swing. In a unilateral transistor (10), a portion (37, 45) of a dopant layer (25, 30) between a source region (48, 51) and a drain region (49, 52) serves as a channel region and sets the V T and the device leakage current. A halo region (34, 39) contains the source region (48, 51) and sets the punchthrough voltage. In a bilateral transistor (70), both a source region (83, 86) and a drain region (84, 87) are contained within halo regions (75, 74, 79, 81). A portion (76, 82) of a dopant layer (25, 30) sets the V T and a leakage current, whereas the halo region (75, 79) sets the punchthrough voltage.

摘要:
Insulated gate field effect transistors (10, 70) having independent process steps for setting lateral and vertical dopant profiles for source and drain regions. In a unilateral transistor (10), portions (48, 50, 51, 55) of the source region are contained within a halo region (34, 41) whereas portions (49, 47, 52, 64) of the drain region are not contained within a halo region. The source region (60, 65) has a first portion (48, 51) for setting a channel length and a second portion (50, 55) for setting a breakdown voltage and a source/drain capacitance. The second portion (50, 55) extends further into the halo region than the first portion (48, 51). In a bilateral transistor (70), portions (84, 89, 80, 91) of the drain region (72, 77) are contained within halo region (75, 79).
