Abstract:
A semiconductor device comprising:an SOI wafer including a semiconductor layer, a substrate and a buried insulator layer therebetween; the semiconductor layer including a source region, a drain region, and a body region disposed between the source and drain regions, the source and drain regions including respective source and extensions which extend partially laterally inwardly towards one another above the body region; and, a gate on the semiconductor layer disposed above the body region, the gate being operatively arranged with the source, drain, and body regions to form a transistor; wherein the source and drain regions include source and drain deep doped regions on opposite sides of and laterally spaced from the gate and laterally adjacent to the respective source and drain extensions, and wherein the source and drain extensions include respective source and drain silicide extension portions disposed therein of a first thickness and the source and drain deep doped regions include respective source and drain silicide deep portions disposed therein of a second thickness relatively thicker than the first thickness.
