Abstract:
Accumulation mode MOS transistors and methods for fabricating such transistors are provided. A method comprises providing an SOI layer disposed overlying a substrate with an insulating layer interposed therebetween. The SOI layer is impurity doped with a first dopant of a first conductivity type and spacers and a gate stack having a sacrificial polycrystalline silicon gate electrode is formed on the SOI layer. A first and a second silicon region are impurity doped with a second dopant of the first conductivity type. The first silicon region and the second silicon region are aligned to the gate stack and spacers. The sacrificial polycrystalline silicon gate electrode is removed and a metal-comprising gate electrode is formed from a metal-comprising material having a mid-gap work function.
