Patent ID: 8853038

Claim:
A computer program storage product for forming a transistor, wherein the computer program storage product comprises instructions configured to perform a method comprising: forming a gate stack on a silicon layer that is above a buried oxide layer, the gate stack comprising a high-k oxide layer on the silicon layer and a metal gate on the high-k oxide layer; forming a first nitride layer on the silicon layer and the gate stack; forming an oxide layer on the first nitride layer; forming a second nitride layer on the oxide layer; etching the first nitride layer and the oxide layer so as to form a nitride liner and an oxide liner adjacent to the gate stack; etching the second nitride layer so as to form a first nitride spacer adjacent to the oxide liner; epitaxially forming a faceted raised source/drain region adjacent to the nitride liner, the oxide liner, and first nitride spacer, wherein the faceted raised source/drain region comprises a first faceted side portion and a second faceted side portion, wherein the eptiaxially forming further comprises forming at least a portion of the first faceted side portion extending under at least a portion of the first nitride spacer, a portion of the oxide liner, and a portion of the nitride liner, wherein the portions of the first nitride spacer, oxide liner, and nitride liner extend over the portion of the first faceted side portion; and implanting ions into the faceted raised source/drain region using the first nitride spacer to align the implantation.
