Ultra-thin Si channel MOSFET using a self-aligned oxygen implant and damascene technique

摘要

The present invention provides a method of forming a thin channel MOSFET having low external resistance. The method comprises forming a dummy gate region atop a substrate; implanting oxide forming dopant through said dummy gate to create a localized oxide region in a portion of the substrate aligned to the dummy gate region that thins a channel region; forming source/drain extension regions abutting said channel region; and replacing the dummy gate with a gate conductor.
