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 14):
A method comprising:\n forming a source region, a drain region, and a channel region within a nanowire, wherein the source region has a first conductivity type and the drain region has the first conductivity type; forming a first spacer on the nanowire, the first spacer covering a portion of the source region; forming a second spacer on the nanowire, the second spacer covering a portion of the drain region; and modifying the source region and the drain region to reduce a minority carrier lifetime within the source region using a first modification process, parameters of the first modification process being chosen to avoid modifying and portions of the drain region under the second spacer.
