摘要:
A gated-diode semiconductor device or similar component and a method of fabricating the device. The device features a gate structure disposed on a substrate over a channel and adjacent a source and a drain. The top of the source or drain region, or both, are formed so as to be at a higher elevation, in whole or in part, than the bottom of the gate structure. This configuration may be achieved by overlaying the gate structure and substrate with a profile layer that guides a subsequent etch process to create a sloped profile. The source and drain, if both are present, may be symmetrical or asymmetrical. This configuration significantly reduces dopant encroachment and, as a consequence, reduces junction leakage.

A method for forming a field effect transistor device within a semiconductor product employs a patterned dummy layer first as an ion implantation mask layer when forming a pair of source/drain regions, and then as a mandrel layer for forming a pair of patterned sacrificial layers which define an aperture of linewidth and location corresponding to the patterned dummy layer. A pair of sacrificial spacer layers and a gate electrode are then formed self-aligned within the aperture. The pair of patterned sacrificial layers and the pair of sacrificial spacer layers are then stripped and the gate electrode is employed as a mask for ion implanting forming a pair of lightly doped extension regions partially overlapping the pair of source/drain regions within the semiconductor substrate.

摘要:
A method of forming an implanted pocket region, to reduce short channel effects (SCE), for narrow channel length, NMOS devices, has been developed. After forming an initial indium pocket region, with an initial indium profile, in the area of a P type semiconductor to be used to accommodate an N type source/drain region, a low temperature anneal procedure is used to activate indium ions in the initial indium pocket region, and to create a final indium pocket region, featuring a final indium profile. The final indium profile remains unchanged after experiencing subsequent high temperature procedures, such as a post-heavily doped, source/drain anneal. The narrow channel length NMOS devices, fabricated using the low temperature anneal procedure described in this invention, resulted in a reduced Vt roll-off phenomena, when compared to counterpart, narrow channel length NMOS, formed without the benefit of the low temperature anneal procedure.
