P-type field effect transistor having channel region with top portion and bottom portion
A p-type field effect transistor (pFET) includes a gate structure on a substrate, a channel region in the substrate directly under the gate structure, and a source/drain region adjacent to two sides of the gate structure. Preferably, the channel region includes a top portion and a bottom portion, in which a concentration of germanium in the bottom portion is lower than a concentration of germanium in the top portion and a depth of the top portion is equal to a depth of the bottom portion.
1. A p-type field effect transistor (pFET), comprising:
a gate structure on a substrate;
a channel region in the substrate directly under the gate structure, wherein the channel region comprises a top portion and a bottom portion, a depth of the top portion is equal to a depth of the bottom portion, both the top portion and the bottom portion are made of silicon germanium, a concentration of germanium in the bottom portion is lower than a concentration of germanium in the top portion, the concentration of germanium in the top portion is between 0.9×10 22 ions/cm 3 to 1.1×10 22 ions/cm 3 , and the concentration of germanium in the bottom portion is between 0.9×10 18 ions/cm 3 to 1.1×10 18 ions/cm 3 ;
a lightly doped drain adjacent to two sides of the gate structure; and
a source/drain region adjacent to two sides of the lightly doped drain, wherein a bottom surface of the bottom portion is higher than bottom surfaces of the lightly doped drain and the source/drain region.
