Abstract

See full text

A semiconductor device includes a substrate; a fin protruding above the substrate, the fin including a compound semiconductor material that includes a semiconductor material and a first dopant, the first dopant having a different lattice constant than the semiconductor material, where a concentration of the first dopant in the fin changes along a first direction from an upper surface of the fin toward the substrate; a gate structure over the fin; a channel region in the fin and directly under the gate structure; and source/drain regions on opposing sides of the gate structure, the source/drain regions including a second dopant, where a concentration of the second dopant at a first location within the channel region is higher than that at a second location within the channel region, where the concentration of the first dopant at the first location is lower than that at the second location.
