The unprotected portion of the bonded substrate is then etched to expose a surface of the second semiconductor layer and a semiconductor material is regrown on the exposed surface. Following planarization, a first semiconductor device is formed in the first device region and a second semiconductor device is formed on the regrown material.

Specifically, the method comprises providing an SOI substrate having a buried insulating layer underlying an SOI layer; forming a pad stack atop the SOI layer; forming a block mask having a channel via atop the pad stack; providing a localized oxide region in the SOI layer on top of the buried insulating layer thereby thinning a portion of the SOI layer, the localized oxide region being self-aligned with the channel via; forming a gate in the channel via; removing at least the block mask; and forming source/drain extensions in the SOI layer abutting the thinned portion of the SOI layer. Providing the localized oxide region further comprises implanting oxygen dopant through the channel via into a portion of the SOI layer; and annealing the dopant to create the localized oxide region.

The present invention provides a method for fabricating a planar DGFET having a back gate that is aligned to a front gate. The method of the present invention achieves this alignment by creating a carrier-depleted zone in portions of the back gate. The carrier-depleted zone reduces the capacitance between the source/drain regions and the back gate thereby providing a high-performance self-aligned planar double-gate field effect transistor (DGFET). The present invention also provides a planar DGFET having a back gate that is aligned with the front gate. The front to back gate alignment is achieved by providing a carrier-depleted zone in portions of the back gate.

A method for forming an electrical device that includes forming a high-k gate dielectric layer over a semiconductor substrate that is patterned to separate a first portion of the high-k gate dielectric layer that is present on a first conductivity device region from a second portion of the high-k gate dielectric layer that is present on a second conductivity device region. A connecting gate conductor is formed on the first portion and the second portion of the high-k gate dielectric layer. The connecting gate conductor extends from the first conductivity device region over the isolation region to the second conductivity device region. One of the first conductivity device region and the second conductivity device region may then be exposed to an oxygen containing atmosphere. Exposure with the oxygen containing atmosphere modifies a threshold voltage of the semiconductor device that is exposed.
