    摘要: Manufacturing techniques and related semiconductor devices are disclosed in which the channel region of analog transistors and/or transistors operated at higher supply voltages may be formed on the basis of a very thin semiconductor layer in an SOI configuration by incorporating a counter-doped region into the channel region at the source side of the transistor. The counter-doped region may be inserted prior to forming the gate electrode structure. With this asymmetric dopant profile in the channel region, superior transistor performance may be obtained, thereby obtaining a performance gain for transistors formed on the basis of a thin semiconductor base material required for the formation of sophisticated fully depleted transistor elements.

    摘要: When forming sophisticated multiple gate transistors and planar transistors in a common manufacturing sequence, the threshold voltage characteristics of the multiple gate transistors may be intentionally “degraded” by selectively incorporating a dopant species into corner areas of the semiconductor fins, thereby obtaining a superior adaptation of the threshold voltage characteristics of multiple gate transistors and planar transistors. In advantageous embodiments, the incorporation of the dopant species may be accomplished by using the hard mask, which is also used for patterning the self-aligned semiconductor fins.

    摘要: A method comprises providing a semiconductor structure comprising a substrate and a nanowire above the substrate. The nanowire comprises a first semiconductor material and extends in a vertical direction of the substrate. A material layer is formed above the substrate. The material layer annularly encloses the nanowire. A first part of the nanowire is selectively removed relative to the material layer. A second part of the nanowire is not removed. A distal end of the second part of the nanowire distal from the substrate is closer to the substrate than a surface of the material layer so that the semiconductor structure has a recess at the location of the nanowire. The distal end of the nanowire is exposed at the bottom of the recess. The recess is filled with a second semiconductor material. The second semiconductor material is differently doped than the first semiconductor material.
