Localized fin width scaling using a hydrogen anneal |
摘要 |
Transistors and methods for fabricating the same include forming one or more semiconductor fins on a substrate; covering source and drain regions of the one or more semiconductor fins with a protective layer; annealing uncovered channel portions of the one or more semiconductor fins in a gaseous environment to reduce fin width and round corners of the one or more semiconductor fins; and forming a dielectric layer and gate over the thinned fins. |

1. A method for fabricating a transistor, comprising:
forming one or more semiconductor fins on a substrate; covering source and drain regions of the one or more semiconductor fins with a protective layer; annealing uncovered channel portions of the one or more semiconductor fins in a gaseous environment to reduce fin width, to produce a fin profile that is widest at the bottom and tapers toward the top, and to round corners of the one or more semiconductor fins; and forming a dielectric layer and gate over the thinned fins. |
