Abstract
There are provided a method for fabricating a MOSFET. The method includes: substrate, forming a semiconductor substrate, a germanium layer by implanting germanium (Ge) ions into a semiconductor substrate, forming an epitaxial layer doped with high concentration impurities over the germanium layer, forming a gate structure on the epitaxial layer, and forming source/drain regions with lightly doped drain (LDD) regions in the semiconductor substrate. The germanium layer supplies carriers into the epitaxial layer so that short channel effects are reduced.
Claims6
A method for fabricating a MOSFET, comprising:
- forming a germanium layer with a predetermined thickness by implanting germanium ions into a semiconductor substrate;
- etching an overlying portion of the semiconductor substrate disposed over the germanium layer to expose the germanium layer, wherein etching the overlying portion comprises etching the overlying portion by a wet etching process;
- forming an epitaxial layer doped with high concentration impurities on the exposed germanium layer;
- forming a gate structure on the epitaxial layer;
- forming source/drain regions in the semiconductor substrate;
- and
- forming a selective epitaxial layer on the source/drain regions, wherein the selective epitaxial layer is formed on a same horizontal plane with the gate structure.
