Abstract:
A portion of a bulk silicon (Si) is formed into a fin, having a fin base and, on the fin base, an in-process fin. The fin base is doped Si and the in-process fin is silicon germanium (SiGe). The in-process SiGe fin has a source region and a drain region. Boron is in-situ doped into the drain region and into the source region. Optionally, boron is in-situ doped by forming an epi-layer, having boron, on the drain region and on the source region, and drive-in annealing to diffuse boron in the source region and the drain region.

Abstract:
A fin-based structure may include fins on a surface of a semiconductor substrate. Each of the fins may include a doped portion proximate to the surface of the semiconductor substrate. The fin-based structure may also include an isolation layer disposed between the fins and on the surface of the semiconductor substrate. The fin-based structure may also include a recessed isolation liner on sidewalls of the doped portion of the fins. An unlined doped portion of the fins may extend from the recessed isolation liner to an active potion of the fins at a surface of the isolation layer. The isolation layer is disposed on the unlined doped portion of the fins.
Abstract:
A method of forming a semiconductor fin of a FinFET device includes conformally depositing an amorphous or polycrystalline thin film of silicon-germanium (SiGe) on the semiconductor fin. The method also includes oxidizing the amorphous or polycrystalline thin film to diffuse germanium from the amorphous or polycrystalline thin film into the semiconductor fin. Such a method further includes removing an oxidized portion of the amorphous or polycrystalline thin film.
Abstract:
An integrated circuit (IC) device may include a first active transistor of a first-type in a first-type region. The first active transistor may have a first-type work function material and a low channel dopant concentration in an active portion of the first active transistor. The IC device may also include a first isolation transistor of the first-type in the first-type region. The second active transistor may have a second-type work function material and the low channel dopant concentration in an active portion of the first isolation transistor. The first isolation transistor may be arranged adjacent to the first active transistor.
