Abstract

Techniques herein include methods of forming channel structures for field effect transistors having a channel current path parallel to a surface of a substrate. 3D in-situ horizontal or lateral growth of the channel and source/drain regions allows for a custom doping in the 3D horizontal nanosheet direction for NMOS and PMOS devices. An ultra-short channel length is achieved with techniques herein because the channel is epitaxially grown in the 3D horizontal nanosheet direction at the monolayer level. Since the channel is grown in a dielectric cavity, a precise channel cross sectional area can be tuned.
