摘要： A dielectric mandrel structure is formed on a single crystalline semiconductor layer. An amorphous semiconductor material layer is deposited on the physically exposed surfaces of the single crystalline semiconductor layer and surfaces of the mandrel structure. Optionally, the amorphous semiconductor material layer can be implanted with at least one different semiconductor material. Solid phase epitaxy is performed on the amorphous semiconductor material layer employing the single crystalline semiconductor layer as a seed layer, thereby forming an epitaxial semiconductor material layer with uniform thickness. Remaining portions of the epitaxial semiconductor material layer are single crystalline semiconductor fins and thickness of these fins are sublithographic. After removal of the dielectric mandrel structure, the single crystalline semiconductor fins can be employed to form a semiconductor device.

摘要： After formation of a gate stack, regions in which a source and a drain are to be formed are recessed through the top semiconductor layer and into an upper portion of a buried single crystalline rare earth oxide layer of a semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) substrate so that a source trench and drain trench are formed. An embedded single crystalline semiconductor portion epitaxially aligned to the buried single crystalline rare earth oxide layer is formed in each of the source trench and the drain trench to form a recessed source and a recessed drain, respectively. Protrusion of the recessed source and recessed drain above the bottom surface of a gate dielectric can be minimized to reduce parasitic capacitive coupling with a gate electrode, while providing low source resistance and drain resistance through the increased thickness of the recessed source and recessed drain relative to the thickness of the top semiconductor layer.
