    Abstract: Integrated circuit (IC) structures including asymmetric, recessed source and drain regions and methods for forming are provided. In an example, the IC structure includes a substrate, a gate structure over the substrate, first and second spacers contacting respective, opposite sidewalls of the gate structure, and source and drain regions on opposite sides of the gate structure. In one configuration, the source region includes an upper source portion having a first lateral width, and a lower source portion having a second lateral width greater than the first lateral width, and the drain region includes an upper drain portion having a third lateral width, and a lower drain portion having a fourth lateral width that is substantially the same as the third lateral width.

    Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) structure includes a semiconductor fin having a first longitudinal extent and a second longitudinal extent. The semiconductor fin has an upper fin portion having a uniform lateral dimension in the first longitudinal extent and the second longitudinal extent, a first subfin portion under the upper fin portion in the first longitudinal extent having a first lateral dimension, and a second subfin portion under the upper fin portion in the second longitudinal extent having a second lateral dimension different than the first lateral dimension. The second subfin may be used in a drain extension region of a laterally-diffused metal-oxide semiconductor (LDMOS) device. The second subfin reduces subfin current and improves HCI reliability, regardless of the type of LDMOS device.

    Abstract: Structures for a field-effect transistor and methods of forming a structure for a field-effect transistor. First and second gate structures extend over a semiconductor body. The first gate structure includes a first sidewall and a second sidewall opposite the first sidewall, and the second gate structure includes a sidewall adjacent to the first sidewall of the first gate structure. A first source/drain region includes a first epitaxial semiconductor layer positioned between the first sidewall of the first gate structure and the sidewall of the second gate structure. A second source/drain region includes a second epitaxial semiconductor layer positioned adjacent to the second sidewall of the first gate structure. The first sidewall of the first gate structure and the sidewall of the second gate structure are separated by a distance that is greater than a width of the first epitaxial semiconductor layer.

    Abstract: Structures for a field-effect transistor and methods of forming a structure for a field-effect transistor. A semiconductor substrate includes a first region, a second region, and a first source/drain region in the first region. A semiconductor fin is located over the second region of the semiconductor substrate. The semiconductor fin extends laterally along a longitudinal axis to connect to the first region of the semiconductor substrate. The structure includes a second source/drain region including an epitaxial semiconductor layer coupled to the first semiconductor fin, and a gate structure that extends over the semiconductor fin. The gate structure includes a first sidewall and a second sidewall opposite the first sidewall, the first source/drain region is positioned adjacent to the first sidewall of the gate structure, and the second source/drain region is positioned adjacent to the second sidewall of the gate structure.
