Abstract

This paper describes a new ultra-thin SOI-CMOS structure offering reduced parasitic diffusion-layer resistance. It addresses ways to deal with the ultra-shallow junctions required by sub-0.1 /spl mu/m MOSFET's. Based on a CVD tungsten process we experimentally investigate the characteristics of selectively grown tungsten used in the source and drain region made in SOI layers of various thicknesses ranging from 10 to 100 nm. We also investigate certain CMOS device characteristics. The SOI-CMOS structure, with low parasitic diffusion-layer resistance and good contact characteristics for ultra-shallow junction devices exhibits superior device performance and high scalability. >
