Abstract

A method of fabricating a semiconductor device, having an asymmetrical dual-gate MOSFET with a silicon-germanium (SiGe) channel, involving: patterning a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafer with a photoreist layer, wherein the SOI structure comprises a silicon dioxide (SiO2) layer, a silicon (Si) layer deposited on the SiO2 layer, and a silicon nitride (Si3N4) layer deposited on the Si layer; initiating formation of a SiGe/Si/SiGe sandwich fin structure from the SOI structure; completing formation of the SiGe/Si/SiGe sandwich fin structure; depositing a thick gate material layer on the SiGe/Si/SiGe sandwich fin structure; forming an asymmetrical dual-gate; and completing fabrication of the semiconductor device, and a device thereby formed.
