Abstract
A semiconductor device and a method of forming same are disclosed. The device includes an SOI wafer including a semiconductor layer, a substrate and a buried insulator layer therebetween. The semiconductor layer includes a source region, a drain region, and a body region disposed between the source and drain regions. At least one of the source and drain regions includes an epitaxially raised region. A gate is on the semiconductor layer, the gate being operatively arranged with the source, drain, and body regions to form a transistor. The at least one of the source and drain regions including the epitaxially raised region includes a silicide region spaced apart from the body region by about 200 to about 1000 Angstroms.
