Abstract:
The current disclosure describes semiconductor devices, e.g., transistors including a thin semimetal layer as a channel region over a substrate, which includes bandgap opening and exhibits semiconductor properties. Described semiconductor devices include source/drain regions that include a thicker semimetal layer over the thin semimetal layer serving as the channel region, this thicker semimetal layer exhibiting metal properties. The semimetal used for the source/drain regions include a same or similar semimetal material as the semimetal of the channel region.

Claim (Index 21):
A method, comprising:\n forming a semiconductor region at least partially over a substrate, the semiconductor region including a first semimetal layer of a semimetal material, the first semimetal layer having a semiconductor property and being configured as a channel region; forming a first source/drain structure over the substrate and adjacent to the semiconductor region, the first source/drain structure including a second semimetal layer of a same semimetal material as the first semimetal layer and having a metal property; and forming a first gate structure over the first semimetal layer of the semiconductor region, the first gate structure including a gate electrode of a third semimetal layer and a high-K dielectric layer between the first semimetal layer and the third semimetal layer.
