Abstract

A method includes providing an ETSOI wafer having a semiconductor layer having a top surface with at least one gate structure having on sidewalls thereof a layer of dielectric material. A portion of the layer of dielectric material extends away from the gate structure on the surface of the semiconductor layer. The method further includes faulting a raised S/D on the semiconductor layer adjacent to the portion of the layer of dielectric material, removing the portion of the layer of dielectric material to expose an underlying portion of the surface of the semiconductor layer and applying a layer of glass containing a dopant to cover at least the exposed portion of the surface of the semiconductor layer. The method further includes diffusing the dopant through the exposed portion of the surface of the semiconductor layer to form a source extension region and a drain extension region.
