Abstract

The present invention discloses a method of forming a double gate field effect transistor device, and such a device formed with the method. One starts with a semiconductor-on-insulator substrate, and forms a first gate, source, drain and extensions, and prepares the second gate. Then the substrate is bonded to a second carrier, exposing a second side of the semiconductor layer. Next, an annealing step is performed as a diffusionless annealing, which has the advantage that the semiconductor layer not only has a substantially even thickness, but also has a substantially flat surface. This ensures the best possible annealing action of said annealing step. Very sharp abruptness of the extensions is achieved, with very high activation of the dopants.
