Abstract:
Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a transistor device formed in a semiconductor substrate containing dopant impurities of a first impurity type. The transistor device includes channel composed of a delta-doped layer comprising dopant impurities of the first impurity type, and configured to produce a peak dopant concentration within the channel. The channel further includes a layer of carbon-containing material overlying the delta-doped layer, and configured to prevent back diffusion of dopants from the delta-doped layer and semiconductor substrate. The channel also includes of a layer of substrate material overlying the layer of carbon-containing material, and configured to achieve steep retrograde dopant concentration profile a near a surface of the channel. In some embodiments, a counter-doped layer underlies the delta-doped layer configured to reduce leakage within the semiconductor substrate, and includes dopant impurities of a second impurity type, which is opposite the first impurity type.
Abstract:
A multi-gate semiconductor device is formed including a semiconductor substrate. The multi-gate semiconductor device also includes a first transistor including a first fin portion extending above the semiconductor substrate. The first transistor has a first channel region formed therein. The first channel region includes a first channel region portion doped at a first concentration of a first dopant type and a second channel region portion doped at a second concentration of the first dopant type. The second concentration is higher than the first concentration. The first transistor further includes a first gate electrode layer formed over the first channel region. The first gate electrode layer may be of a second dopant type. The first dopant type may be N-type and the second dopant type may be P-type. The second channel region portion may be formed over the first channel region portion.

Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a Fin field effect transistor (FinFET) device having a buried silicon germanium oxide structure configured to enhance performance of the FinFET device. In some embodiments, the FinFET device has a three-dimensional fin of semiconductor material protruding from a substrate at a position located between first and second isolation regions. A gate structure overlies the three-dimensional fin of semiconductor material. The gate structure controls the flow of charge carriers within the three-dimensional fin of semiconductor material. A buried silicon-germanium-oxide (SiGeOx) structure is disposed within the three-dimensional fin of semiconductor material at a position extending between the first and second isolation regions.
