TRANSISTOR AND METHOD FOR FORMING A TRANSISTOR

Abstract:

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a transistor and methods for forming a transistor. A transistor includes a gate electrode structure disposed over a channel region, a source/drain extension region disposed adjacent to the channel region, and a source/drain region disposed on the source/drain extension region. The source/drain region includes antimony (Sb). The method of forming a transistor includes forming the source/drain extension region and forming the source/drain region on the source/drain extension region. The antimony helps prevent unwanted migration of dopants from the source/drain region to the source/drain extension region.
