Thin silicon single diffusion field effect transistor for enhanced drive performance with stress film liners

摘要

The present invention provides a semiconducting device structure including a thin SOI region, wherein the SOI device is formed with an optional single thin diffusion, i.e., offset, spacer and a single diffusion implant. The device silicon thickness is thin enough to permit the diffusion implants to abut the buried insulator but thick enough to form a contacting silicide. Stress layer liner films are used both over nFET and pFET device regions to enhance performance.
