Abstract
Low threshold voltage MOS devices having asymmetric halo implants are disclosed herein. An asymmetric halo implant provides a pocket region located under a device's source or drain near where the source (or drain) edge abuts the device's channel region. The pocket region has the same conductivity type as the device's bulk (albeit at a higher dopant concentration) and, of course, the opposite conductivity type as the device's source and drain. Only the source or drain, not both, have the primary pocket region. An asymmetric halo device behaves like two pseudo-MOS devices in series: a 'source FET' and a 'drain FET.' If the pocket implant is located under the source, the source FET will have a higher threshold voltage and a much shorter effective channel length than the drain FET.
