Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited
Semiconductor device and formation thereof

Abstract:

A semiconductor device and method of formation are provided. The semiconductor device includes a first active region adjacent a channel, the channel, and a second active region adjacent the channel. The channel has a channel doping profile. The channel includes a central channel portion having a first dopant concentration of a first dopant and a radial channel portion surrounding the central channel portion. The radial channel portion has a second dopant concentration of a second dopant greater than the first dopant concentration. The channel comprising the central channel portion and the radial channel portion has increased voltage threshold tuning as compared to a channel that lacks a central channel portion and a radial channel portion.
