Abstract:
1. A method of forming a Finfet device with a contact path to a channel region in the fabrication of an integrated circuit device using a silicon-on-insulator substrate, the method comprising: defining a T-shaped active region in the silicon layer of said silicon-on-insulator substrate, wherein a source and a drain region form two ends of a cross bar of said T-shaped active region and wherein a channel region forms a central portion of said cross bar and wherein a body contact region forms a leg of said T-shaped active region; growing a gate dielectric layer on said active region; and depositing a gate material layer overlying said gate dielectric layer and patteming said gate material layer to form a gate, wherein said gate lies perpendicular to said cross-bar and wherein an end of said gate partially overlies said body contact region providing said contact path to said channel region to complete formation of said Finfet device with said contact path to said channel region in said fabrication of said integrated circuit device.
