  • METHOD AND APPARATUS TO TUNE THRESHOLD VOLTAGE OF DEVICE WITH HIGH ANGLE SOURCE/DRAIN IMPLANTS
    Publication number: 20160172443
    Abstract: A method for tuning a threshold voltage of a semiconductor device includes implanting at least one dopant in a semiconductor substrate at an angle to form a source region and/or a drain region of a transistor. The angle is oblique to a surface of the substrate. Implanting the at least one dopant at the angle alters a flat-band voltage of the transistor and shifts the threshold voltage of the transistor. The at least one dopant or at least one additional dopant can be implanted in a gate electrical contact of the transistor. Implanting the at least one dopant at the oblique angle can change an electrostatic potential of a gate electrical contact of the transistor compared to implanting the at least one dopant at a non-oblique angle, and the change in the electrostatic potential of the gate electrical contact can shift the threshold voltage of the transistor.
