Abstract:
An FET and method of fabricating an FET. The method includes forming a gate dielectric layer on a top surface of a silicon region of a substrate and forming a gate electrode on a top surface of the gate dielectric layer; forming a source and a drain in the silicon region of and separated by a channel region under the gate electrode, the source having a source extension extending under the gate electrode and the drain having a drain extension extending under the gate electrode, the source, source extension, drain and drain extension doped a first type; and forming a source delta region contained entirely within the source and forming a drain delta region contained entirely within the drain, the delta source region and the delta drain region doped a second dopant type, the second dopant type opposite from the first dopant type.

Abstract:
In one embodiment, a second metal line embedded in a second dielectric layer overlies a first metal line embedded in a first dielectric layer. A portion of the second dielectric layer overlying the first metal line is recessed employing a photoresist and the second metal line as an etch mask. A doped semiconductor spacer is formed within the recess to provide a resistive link between the first metal line and the second metal line. In another embodiment, a first metal line and a second metal line are embedded in a dielectric layer. An area of the dielectric layer laterally abutting the first and second metal lines is recessed employing a photoresist and the first and second metal lines as an etch mask. A doped semiconductor spacer is formed on sidewalls of the first and second metal lines, providing a resistive link between the first and second metal lines.
