Abstract

A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes forming one or more fins extending in a first direction over a substrate. The one or more fins include a first region along the first direction and second regions on both sides of the first region along the first direction. A dopant is implanted in the first region of the fins but not in the second regions. A gate structure overlies the first region of the fins and source/drains are formed on the second regions of the fins.

Claims (38)

1. A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, comprising:

forming one or more fins extending in a first direction over a substrate,

wherein the one or more fins include a first region along the first direction and second regions on both sides of the first region along the first direction;

forming a resist layer over the one or more fins;

forming openings in the resist layer to expose the first region of the one or more fins;

implanting a dopant in the first region of the one or more fins through the openings formed in the resist layer but not in the second regions;

forming a gate structure overlying the first region of the one or more fins; and

forming source/drains on the second regions of the one or more fins.

2. The method for manufacturing a semiconductor device of claim 1 , wherein the dopant is an N-type dopant, selected from the group consisting of P, As, and Sb.

3. The method for manufacturing a semiconductor device of claim 1 , wherein the dopant is a P-type dopant, selected from the group consisting of B, BF 2 , Al, and Ga.

4. The method for manufacturing a semiconductor device of claim 1 ,

wherein a concentration of the dopant in the first region is about 1.5×10 16 to 2.0×10 20 atoms cm −3 .

5. The method for manufacturing a semiconductor device of claim 4 , wherein the concentration of the dopant in the first region is about 1×10 18 atoms cm −3 to 2×10 18 atoms cm −3 .

6. The method for manufacturing a semiconductor device of claim 1 , further comprising removing the resist layer after implanting the dopant.

7. The method for manufacturing a semiconductor device of claim 1 , wherein a concentration of the dopant in the first region is about 1.5×10 16 to 2.0×10 20 atoms cm −3 .

8. The method for manufacturing a semiconductor device of claim 7 , wherein the concentration of the dopant in the first region is about 1×10 18 atoms cm −3 to 2×10 18 atoms cm −3 .

9. A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, comprising:

forming a plurality of fins extending in a first direction over a substrate,

wherein the plurality of fins include a first region along the first direction and second regions on both sides of the first region along the first direction;

implanting a dopant centered at region in the fins located at about 15 to 20 nm from a top of the fins and 3 to 7 nm in a fin thickness direction from a sidewall extending along the first direction of the fins in the first region of the fins but not in the second regions;

forming a gate structure overlying the first region of the fins; and

forming source/drains on the second regions of the fins.
