Abstract

A method of fabricating a semiconductor device that includes providing a substrate having at least a first semiconductor layer atop a dielectric layer, wherein the first semiconductor layer has a first thickness of less than 10 nm. The first semiconductor layer is etched with a a halide based gas at a temperature of less than 675° C. to a second thickness that is less than the first thickness. A second semiconductor layer is epitaxially formed on an etched surface of the first semiconductor layer. A gate structure is formed directly on the second semiconductor layer. A source region and a drain region is formed on opposing sides of the gate structure.
