A transistor has a gate with a variable work function and a gate oxide layer with variable thickness. The gate oxide layer has an area of reduced thickness at its center, and the gate is made from central and peripheral portions. The central portion is formed over the central (thinner) portion of the gate oxide layer, and the peripheral portions are formed over the thicker areas of the gate oxide layer. The gate, gate oxide layer, and two source/drain regions may be formed in a damascene trench for improved performance, and lightly doped drain (LDD) regions preferably extend from the source/drain regions in overlapping relationship with the peripheral portions of the gate. Additionally, a method for making an asymmetrical transistor is presented, which involves applying a gate oxide layer on a semiconductor layer in contact with a sidewall structure. A first spacer made of a gate material is formed on the structure and gate oxide layer. An LDD region is then formed in the semiconductor layer, using the first spacer as a mask for alignment purposes. This is followed by formation of a second spacer on the gate oxide layer in overlapping relationship with the LDD region. The second spacer contacts the first spacer and is made of a gate material, and thus the first and second spacers collectively form the gate of the transistor. Final processing steps are performed to finish the device.

A method of forming a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) device is provided in which an implanted back-gate is formed into a Si-containing layer of an SOI wafer. The implanted back-gate thus formed is capable of controlling the threshold voltage of a polysilicon-containing front-gate which is formed over a portion of the implanted back-gate region. The implanted back-gate functions as a dynamic threshold voltage control system in the SOI MOSFET device because it is suitable for use during circuit/system active periods and during circuit/system idle periods.

A method of fabricating a SOI wafer having a gate-quality, thin buried oxide region is provided. The wafer is fabricating by forming a substantially uniform thermal oxide on a surface of a Si-containing layer of a SOI substrate which includes a buried oxide region positioned between the Si-containing layer and a Si-containing substrate layer. Next, a cleaning process is employed to form a hydrophilic surface on the thermal oxide. A carrier wafer having a hydrophilic surface is provided and positioned near the substrate such that the hydrophilic surfaces adjoin each other. Room temperature bonding is then employed to bond the carrier wafer to the substrate. An annealing step is performed and thereafter, the Si-containing substrate of the silicon-on-insulator substrate and the buried oxide region are selectively removed to expose the Si-containing layer.

A technique for forming a sub-0.05 nullm channel length double-gated/double channel MOSFET structure having excellent short-channel characteristics as well as the double-gated/double channel MOSFET structure itself is provided herein. The inventive technique utilizes a damascene process for the fabrication of a MOSFET device with double-gate/double channel structure. The gates are present on opposite sides of a silicon film having a vertical thickness of about 80 nm or less which is present in the gate region. The silicon film serves as the vertical channel regions of the structure and connects diffusion regions that are abutting the gate region to each other. In the inventive device, the current is double that of a conventional planar MOSFET with the same physical width due to its dual channel feature.
