    Abstract: For fabricating a field effect transistor on a semiconductor substrate in SOI (semiconductor on insulator) technology, a pillar of semiconductor material is formed on a layer of buried insulating material. The pillar has a top surface and first and second side surfaces, and the pillar has a width, a length, and a height. A masking structure is formed on a center portion of the top surface of the pillar along the length of the pillar. A top portion of the height of the pillar is etched from exposed surfaces of the top surface of the pillar down to a bottom portion of the height of the pillar to form an upside down T-shape for the pillar. A gate dielectric material is deposited on any exposed surface of the semiconductor material of the pillar for a gate length along the length of the pillar. A gate electrode material is deposited on the gate dielectric material to surround the pillar for the gate length of the pillar. A drain and source dopant is implanted into exposed regions of the pillar to form a drain of the field effect transistor on a first side of the gate electrode material along the length of the pillar and to form a source of the field effect transistor on a second side of the gate electrode material along the length of the pillar. In this manner, for a given height and width of the semiconductor pillar, any point of a cross-section of such a pillar is more closely located to the gate bias applied at a surface of such a pillar to maximize effective drive current while minimizing undesired short channel effects of the field effect transistor.

    Abstract: The invention provides an improved well structure for electrically separating n-channel and p-channel MOSFETs. The invention first forms a shallow well in a substrate. A buried amorphous layer is then formed below the shallow well. A deep well is then formed below the buried amorphous layer. The substrate is then subjected to a rapid thermal anneal to recrystallize the buried amorphous layer. The well structure is formed by the shallow well and the deep well. A conventional semiconductor device may then be formed above the well structure. The buried amorphous layer suppresses the channeling effect during the forming of the deep well without requiring a tilt angle.

    Abstract: For forming a field effect transistor on a buried insulating material in SOI (semiconductor on insulator) technology, a gate dielectric and a gate electrode are formed on the semiconductor material, and spacers are formed on sidewalls of the gate electrode and the gate dielectric. The spacers cover portions of the semiconductor material. A dopant is implanted into exposed regions of the semiconductor material to form a drain doped region and a source doped region.

    Abstract: For fabricating a field effect transistor on a semiconductor substrate in SOI (semiconductor on insulator) technology, an insulating block comprised of insulating material is formed on a thin semiconductor island comprised of semiconductor material. Semiconductor material is further grown from sidewalls of the semiconductor island to extend up along sidewalls of the insulating block to form a raised drain structure on a first side of the insulating block and the semiconductor island and to form a raised source structure on a second side of the insulating block and the semiconductor island. A drain and source dopant is implanted into the raised drain and source structures. A thermal anneal is performed to activate the drain and source dopant within the raised drain and source structures and such that the drain and source dopant extends partially into the semiconductor island. Drain and source silicides are formed within the raised drain and source structures. The insulating block is etched away to form a block opening. A gate dielectric comprised of a high dielectric constant material is deposited at a bottom wall of the block opening after the thermal anneal and after formation of the drain and source silicides. The block opening is filled with a conductive material to form a gate structure disposed over the semiconductor island. The portion of the semiconductor island disposed under the gate structure forms a channel region that is fully depleted during operation of the field effect transistor. In this manner, the gate dielectric comprised of the high dielectric constant material is formed after any process step using a relatively high temperature of greater than about 750° Celsius to preserve the integrity of the gate dielectric comprised of a high-K dielectric material.

    Abstract: For fabricating a field effect transistor, a gate structure is formed on a gate dielectric on an active device area of a semiconductor substrate. An amorphization dopant and an extension dopant are implanted into exposed regions of the active device area to form drain and source extension junctions extending down to an extension depth within the semiconductor substrate. First and second spacers are formed at sidewalls of the gate structure. Any exposed regions of the active device area of the semiconductor substrate are etched down beyond the extension depth. The drain and source extension junctions remain disposed under the first and second spacers. A layer of doped amorphous semiconductor material is deposited to cover the structures on the semiconductor substrate and is doped with a contact dopant in an in-situ deposition process using a temperature of less than about 500° Celsius. The amorphous semiconductor material is polished down until the top surfaces of the gate structure and the first and second spacers are level with a top surface of the amorphous semiconductor material. The amorphous semiconductor material remaining to the first sidewall of the gate structure forms an elevated drain contact structure, and the amorphous semiconductor material remaining to the second sidewall of the gate structure forms an elevated source contact structure. A thermal anneal is performed using a temperature less than about 600° Celsius to activate the dopants within the drain and source extension junctions and within the drain and source contact structures. Such low temperatures preserve the gate dielectric comprised of a high-K dielectric material.
