Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for producing a tunnel field-effect transistor is disclosed. Connection regions of different doping types are produced by means of self-aligning implantation methods.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of forming an integrated circuit, the method comprising: forming an auxiliary layer over a substrate; forming at least one auxiliary region by patterning the auxiliary layer and removing material of the auxiliary layer; forming a first spacer element in a region in which material of the auxiliary layer has been removed; doping a first connection region having a first doping type of a transistor, the first spacer element and the auxiliary regio…
