Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A transistor having a narrow bandgap semiconductor source/drain region is described. The transistor includes a gate electrode formed on a gate dielectric layer formed on a silicon layer. A pair of source/drain regions are formed on opposite sides of the gate electrode wherein said pair of source/drain regions comprise a narrow bandgap semiconductor film formed in the silicon layer on opposite sides of the gate electrode.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A transistor comprising: a gate dielectric layer formed on a substrate; a gate electrode formed on the gate dielectric layer; and a pair of source/drain regions on opposite sides of the gate electrode, the pair of source/drain regions comprising a doped semiconductor film that extends beneath the gate electrode and above a top surface of the gate dielectric layer, wherein the semiconductor film comprises a material selected from the group consisting of InSb, InAs,…
