Abstract

See full text

A method of adjusting a threshold voltage for a semiconductor device on a semiconductor on insulator substrate includes performing a threshold voltage adjustment implant (25) after formation of a gate structure (16) to reduce the diffusion of implanted dopant (26). Reducing dopant diffusion eliminates the narrow channel effect which degrades device performance. Implanting the dopant (26) after formation of the gate structure (16) simplifies processing of semiconductor device (28) by eliminating a photolithography step which is accomplished by utilizing photoresist (21) used for a source and drain implant (22).
