    摘要: Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a semiconductor device configured to mitigate against parasitic coupling while maintaining threshold voltage control for comparatively narrow transistors. In some embodiments, a semiconductor device formed on a semiconductor substrate. The semiconductor device comprises a channel comprising an epitaxial layer that forms an outgrowth above the surface of the semiconductor substrate, and a gate material formed over the epitaxial layer. In some embodiments, a method of forming a semiconductor device is disclosed. The method comprises etching the surface of a semiconductor substrate to form a recess between first and second isolation structures, forming an epitaxial layer within the recess that forms an outgrowth above the surface of the semiconductor substrate, and forming a gate material over the epitaxial layer. Other embodiments are also disclosed.

    摘要: Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an epitaxially grown replacement channel region within a transistor, which mitigates the variations within the channel of the transistor due to fluctuations in the manufacturing processes. The replacement channel region is formed by recessing source/drain and channel regions of the semiconductor substrate, and epitaxially growing a replacement channel region within the recess, which comprises epitaxially growing a lower epitaxial channel region over a bottom surface of the recess, and epitaxially growing an upper epitaxial channel region over a bottom surface of the recess. The lower epitaxial channel region retards dopant back diffusion from the upper epitaxial channel region, resulting in a steep retrograde dopant profile within the replacement channel region. The upper epitaxial channel region increases carrier mobility within the channel. The replacement channel region provides improved drive current, thereby enabling better performance and higher yield.
