Abstract

See full text

An IGFET (40 or 42) has a channel zone (64 or 84) situated in body material (50). Short-channel threshold voltage roll-off and punchthrough are alleviated by arranging for the net dopant concentration in the channel zone to longitudinally reach a local surface minimum at a location between the IGFET's source/drain zones (60 and 62 or 80 and 82) and by arranging for the net dopant concentration in the body material to reach a local subsurface maximum more than 0.1 μm deep into the body material but not more than 0.1 μm deep into the body material. The source/drain zones (140 and 142 or 160 and 162) of a p-channel IGFET (120 or 122) are provided with graded-junction characteristics to reduce junction capacitance, thereby increasing switching speed.
