SELF-ALIGNED SOI SCHOTTKY BODY TIE EMPLOYING SIDEWALL SILICIDATION

摘要

A self-aligned Silicon on Insulator (SOI) Schottky Body Tie structure includes: a source region comprising a silicide layer disposed on a top surface of the source region; a drain region comprising a silicide layer disposed on a top surface of the drain region; a gate region disposed above a channel formed by the drain and source regions; and a gate oxide layer disposed between the gate region and the channel formed by the drain and source regions, wherein when silicidation is performed on the diffusion region it forms a metal-silicon alloy contact such that the silicide layer extends into and directly touches the channel.
