Abstract
We report a novel n-channel Ultra-Thin Body Field-Effect Transistor (UTB-FET) comprising an embedded Metal Source/Drain (eMSD) formed in a quasi-insulating InAlAs region. The InAlAs barrier layer reduces off-state leakage current IOFF significantly. The eMSD consists of conductive Ni-InGaAs and Ni-InAlAs layers, and has a low sheet resistance Rsh of ~20 Ω/square. This achieves a significant reduction in the parasitic S/D resistance Rsd, as compared with a conventional UTB-FET with thin S/D.
