An asymetric gate MOS device is disclosed. The gate is a metal gate, and the metal gate has a different work function on the source side from that on the drain side of the MOS device, so that the overall performance parameters of the MOS device are more optimized. A method of making an asymetric gate MOS device is also disclosed. In the method, dopant ions are implanted into the gate of the MOS device, so as to cause the gate to have a different work function on the source side from that on the drain side of the MOS device. As a result, the overall performance parameters of the MOS device are more optimized. The method can be easily implemented.

Asymmetrical gate MOS device and method of making

The present invention puts forward a body-contact SOI transistor structure and method of making. The method comprises: forming a hard mask layer on the SOI; etching an opening exposing SOI bottom silicon; wet etching an SOI oxide layer through the opening; depositing a polysilicon layer at the opening followed by anisotropic dry etching; depositing an insulating dielectric layer at the opening followed by planarization; forming a gate stack structure by deposition and etching, and forming source/drain junctions of the transistor using ion implantation. By using the present invention, body contact for SOI field-effect transistors can be effectively formed, thereby eliminating floating-body effect in the SOI field-effect transistors, and improving heat dissipation capability of the SOI transistors and associated integrated circuits.

Body contact SOI transistor structure and method of making

The present invention is related to microelectronic device technologies. A method for making an asymmetric source-drain field-effect transistor is disclosed. A unique asymmetric source-drain field-effect transistor structure is formed by changing ion implantation tilt angles to control the locations of doped regions formed by two ion implantation processes. The asymmetric source-drain field-effect transistor has structurally asymmetric source/drain regions, one of which is formed of a P-N junction while the other one being formed of a mixed junction, the mixed junction being a mixture of a Schottky junction and a P-N junction.

Asymmetric source-drain field-effect transistor having a mixed schottky/P-N junction and method of making

A method of making a transistor, comprising: providing a semiconductor substrate; forming a gate stack over the semiconductor substrate; forming an insulating layer over the semiconductor substrate; forming a depleting layer over the insulating layer; etching the depleting layer and the insulating layer; forming a metal layer over the semiconductor substrate; performing thermal annealing; and removing the metal layer. As advantages of the present invention, an upper outside part of each of the sidewalls include a material that can react with the metal layer, so that metal on two sides of the sidewalls is absorbed during the annealing process, preventing the metal from diffusing toward the semiconductor layer, and ensuring that the formed Schottky junctions can be ultra-thin and uniform, and have controllable and suppressed lateral growth.
