Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses relate to implanting a surface of a semiconductor substrate with dopants, making undoped semiconductor material directly on the surface implanted with the dopants, and making a transistor with a transistor channel in the undoped semiconductor material, such that the transistor channel of the transistor remains undoped throughout manufacture of the integrated circuit.

Claim (Index 18):
A nontransitory computer readable medium with computer executable instructions determining a layout of an integrated circuit design, the computer executable instructions including:\n first computer executable instructions defining first layout locations for implanting a first part of a surface of a semiconductor substrate with n-type dopants and a second part of the surface with p-type dopants; second computer executable instructions defining second layout locations for epitaxially growing essentially undoped semiconductor material directly on the entire substrate surface, including both on the first part of the surface implanted with the n-type dopants and on the second part of the surface implanted with the p-type dopants, the epitaxially grown essentially undoped semiconductor material having a dopant concentration on the first part of the surface and on the second part of the surface, the dopant concentration changing by a decade over a depth of less than 3 nanometers at an interface between the epitaxially grown essentially undoped semiconductor material and the semiconductor substrate under process conditions including temperature developed to cause the dopant concentration changing at the interface; third computer executable instructions defining third layout locations for forming isolation trenches through the epitaxially grown undoped semiconductor material directly on the entire substrate surface and between the first part of the surface implanted with the n-type dopants and the second part of the surface implanted with the p-type dopants; and fourth computer executable instructions defining fourth layout locations for making a transistor with a transistor channel in the epitaxial semiconductor material, such that the transistor channel, in the epitaxial semiconductor material, of the transistor remains essentially undoped throughout manufacture of the integrated circuit.
