Abstract:
A method for fabricating a semiconducting device on a substrate, where the improvement includes forming a strained silicon carbide channel layer on the substrate. A silicon layer is formed on top of the strained silicon carbide channel layer. A gate insulation layer is formed on top of the silicon layer and strained silicon carbide channel layer, at a temperature that does not exceed about eight hundred centigrade. A gate electrode is formed on top of the gate insulation layer, and the gate electrode is patterned. A low dose drain dopant is impregnated into the substrate, and activated with a first laser anneal. A source drain dopant is impregnated into the substrate, and activated with a second laser anneal. After the step of activating the low dose drain dopant with the first laser anneal, an insulating layer is formed around the gate electrode, at a temperature that does not exceed about eight hundred centigrade, and a spacer is formed around the gate electrode. The spacer is formed of a material that is reflective to the second laser anneal.
