Abstract
A method for fabricating a multigate device includes forming a fin on a substrate of the multigate device, the fin being formed of a semiconductor material, growing a first conformal epitaxial layer directly on the fin and substrate, wherein the first conformal epitaxial layer is highly doped, growing a second conformal epitaxial layer directly on the first conformal epitaxial layer, wherein the second conformal epitaxial layer is highly doped, selectively removing a portion of second epitaxial layer to expose a portion of the first conformal epitaxial layer, selectively removing a portion of the first conformal epitaxial layer to expose a portion of the fin and thereby form a trench, and forming a gate within the trench.
