Abstract
An integrated circuit structure includes laterally adjacent first and second devices. The first device has (i) a first diffusion region, (ii) a first body including semiconductor material extending laterally from the first diffusion region, and (iii) a first gate structure on the first body. The first diffusion region has a first lower section that extends below a lower surface of the first gate structure, the first lower section having a first height. The second device has (i) a second diffusion region, (ii) a second body including semiconductor material extending laterally from the second diffusion region, and (iii) a second gate structure on the second body. The second diffusion region has a second lower section that extends below a lower surface of the second gate structure, the second lower section having a second height. In an example, the first height is at least 2 nanometers greater than the second height.
