Abstract:
A nanowire comprises a source region, a drain region and a channel region. The source region is modified to reduce the lifetime of minority carriers within the source region. In an embodiment the modification may be performed by implanting either amorphizing dopants or lifetime reducing dopants. Alternatively, the source may be epitaxially grown with a different materials or process conditions to reduce the lifetime of minority carriers within the source region.

Claim (Index 1):
A method comprising:\n forming a nanowire over a substrate, the nanowire comprising a channel; implanting a first dopant into the nanowire to form a source and a drain in the nanowire, the channel being disposed between the source and the drain, the source having a first conductivity type, the drain having the first conductivity type; covering a first portion of the drain; and implanting a first minority carrier lifetime reducing dopant into at least a portion of the source after covering the first portion of the drain, the first minority carrier lifetime reducing dopant being different from the first dopant, the channel and at least a second portion of the drain being substantially free of the first minority carrier lifetime reducing dopant.
