Abstract

An FET and method of fabricating an FET. The method includes forming a gate dielectric layer on a top surface of a silicon region of a substrate and forming a gate electrode on a top surface of the gate dielectric layer; forming a source and a drain in the silicon region and separated by a channel region under the gate electrode, the source having a source extension extending under the gate electrode and the drain having a drain extension extending under the gate electrode, the source, source extension, drain and drain extension doped a first type; and forming a source delta region contained entirely within the source and forming a drain delta region contained entirely within the drain, the delta source region and the delta drain region doped a second dopant type, the second dopant type opposite from the first dopant type.
