Mosfet on silicon-on-insulator redx with asymmetric source-drain contacts

Abstract

A semiconductor device is disclosed that includes a silicon-on-insulator substrate including a buried insulator layer and an overlying semiconductor layer. Source extension and drain extension regions are formed in the semiconductor layer. A deep drain region and a deep source region are formed in the semiconductor layer. A first metal-semiconductor alloy contact layer is formed using tilted metal formation at an angle tilted towards the source extension region, such that the source extension region has a metal-semiconductor alloy contact that abuts the substrate from the source side, as a Schottky contact therebetween and the gate shields metal deposition from abutting the deep drain region. A second metal-semiconductor alloy contact is formed located on the first metal-semiconductor layer on each of the source extension region and drain extension region.
