Semiconductor Device and Method of Manufacture - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240379751 titled 'Semiconductor Device and Method of Manufacture
The method described in the abstract involves depositing a multi-layer stack on a semiconductor substrate, with sacrificial layers alternating with channel layers. A dummy gate is formed on the stack, followed by the formation of a first spacer on the dummy gate's sidewall. Two implantation processes are then performed to create doped regions in the channel layers, with the second implantation having higher energy and different dose compared to the first implantation.
