Abstract:
A method for fabricating a semiconductor device includes receiving a silicon substrate having an isolation feature disposed on the substrate and a well adjacent the isolation feature, wherein the well includes a first dopant. The method also includes etching a recess to remove a portion of the well and epitaxially growing a silicon layer (EPI layer) in the recess to form a channel, wherein the channel includes a second dopant. The method also includes forming a barrier layer between the well and the EPI layer, the barrier layer including at least one of either silicon carbon or silicon oxide. The barrier layer can be formed either before or after the channel. The method further includes forming a gate electrode disposed over the channel and forming a source and drain in the well.

Claim (Index 13):
The method of  claim 12  further comprising:\n forming source/drain regions on the substrate disposed such a first portion of each of the source/drain regions extends to the dielectric barrier and a second portion of each of the source/drain regions extends beyond the dielectric barrier, wherein a channel region of the semiconductor layer is disposed between the source/drain regions.
