A transistor structure includes a channel disposed between a source and a drain; a gate conductor disposed over the channel and between the source and the drain; and a gate dielectric layer disposed between the gate conductor and the source, the drain and the channel. In the transistor structure a lower portion of the source and a lower portion of the drain that are adjacent to the channel are disposed beneath and in contact with the gate dielectric layer to define a sharply defined source-drain extension region.

A method is provided for fabricating a transistor. According to the method, a doped material layer is formed on a semiconductor layer, and dopant is diffused from the doped material layer into the semiconductor layer to form a graded dopant region in the semiconductor layer. The graded dopant region has a higher doping concentration near a top surface of the semiconductor layer and a lower doping concentration near a bottom surface of the semiconductor layer, with a gradual decrease in the doping concentration. The doped material layer is removed, and then a gate stack is formed on the semiconductor layer. Source and drain regions are formed adjacent to an active area that is in the semiconductor layer underneath the gate stack. The active area comprises at least a portion of the graded dopant region, and the source and drain regions and the active area have the same conductivity type.

A fin field-effect-transistor fabricated by forming a dummy fin structure on a semiconductor substrate. A dielectric layer is formed on the semiconductor substrate. The dielectric layer surrounds the dummy fin structure. The dummy fin structure is removed to form a cavity within the dielectric layer. The cavity exposes a portion of the semiconductor substrate thereby forming an exposed portion of the semiconductor substrate within the cavity. A dopant is implanted into the exposed portion of the semiconductor substrate within the cavity thereby creating a dopant implanted exposed portion of the semiconductor substrate within the cavity. A semiconductor layer is epitaxially grown within the cavity atop the dopant implanted exposed portion of the semiconductor substrate.
