Abstract

A method includes forming a p-type field effect transistor region and an n-type field effect transistor region into a semiconductor substrate. The method implements a process flow to fabricate highly doped top source/drains with minimal lithography and etching processes. The method permits the formation of VFETs with increased functionality and reduced scaling.
