DEVICE AND METHOD FOR FORMING SHARP EXTENSION REGION WITH CONTROLLABLE JUNCTION DEPTH AND LATERAL OVERLAP

摘要

A method for forming a semiconductor device includes forming a gate stack on a monocrystalline substrate. A surface of the substrate adjacent to the gate stack and below a portion of the gate stack is amorphorized. The surface is etched to selectively remove a thickness of amorphorized portions to form undercuts below the gate stack. A layer is epitaxially grown in the thickness and the undercuts to form an extension region for the semiconductor device. Devices are also provided.
