摘要: A nonplanar MOSFET device such as a FinFET or a sacked nanosheets/nanowires FET has a substrate, one or more nonplanar channels disposed on the substrate, and a gate stack enclosing the nonplanar channels. A first source/drain (S/D) region is disposed on the substrate on a source side of the nonplanar channel and second S/D region is disposed on the substrate on a drain side of the nonplanar channel. The first and second S/D regions made of silicon-germanium (SiGe). In some embodiments, both S/D regions are p-type doped. Contact trenches provide a metallic electrical connection to the first and the second source/drain (S/D) regions. The S/D regions have two parts, a first part with a first concentration of germanium (Ge) and a second part with a second, higher Ge concentration that is a surface layer having convex shape and aligned with one of the contact trenches.

摘要: Channel engineering is employed to obtain a gate-all-around field-effect transistor having an asymmetric threshold voltage. A dual channel profile enables a steep potential distribution near the source side that enhances the lateral channel electric field and thus increases the carrier mobility.

摘要: An FET comprises a source, a drain, a channel, and a gate encompassing the channel. The channel has a first region that is thinner than in a second region. The Threshold Voltage, Vth, is larger in the first region than in the second region causing an asymmetric Vth across the length of the channel. Modeling has shown that the Vth increases along the channel from about 50 milliVolts (mV) for N-FETs (about 55 mV for a P-FETs) to about 125 mV for N-FETs (about 180 mV for P-FETs) as the channel width decreases from 4 nanometers (nm) to 2 nm.
