Abstract

A methodology enabling the formation of steep channel profiles for devices, such as SSRW FETs, having a resultant channel profiles that enables suppression of threshold voltage variation and the resulting device are disclosed. Embodiments include providing STI regions in a silicon wafer; performing a deep well implantation of a dopant into the silicon wafer between STI regions; forming a recess in the doped silicon wafer between the STI regions; performing a shallow well implantation of the dopant into the silicon wafer in the recess; and forming Si:C on the doped silicon wafer in the recess.
