A transistor and a method of making a transistor are disclosed, where a tunnel diode is formed to make connection between the source of the transistor and the body node underlying the gate. For the example of an n-channel transistor, a p+ region is formed by implant and diffusion under the n+ source region, the p+ region in contact on one end with the relatively lightly doped p-type body node. The relatively high dopant concentration of both the p+ region and the n+ source region creates a tunnel diode. The tunnel diode conducts with very low forward voltages, which causes the body node region to be substantially biased to the potential of the source region. Methods for forming the transistor are also disclosed, including the use of a source/drain anneal prior to p-type implant, or alternatively a second sidewall oxide filament, to preclude the boron from counterdoping the LDD extension at the source side. Both silicon-on-insulator and bulk embodiments are disclosed.
