Abstract
A nanoFET transistor includes doped channel junctions at either end of a channel region for one or more nanosheets of the nanoFET transistor. The channel junctions are formed by a iterative recessing and implanting process which is performed as recesses are made for the source/drain regions. The implanted doped channel junctions can be controlled to achieve a desired lateral straggling of the doped channel junctions.
