Abstract

See full text

A method to fabricate a diode device includes providing a fin structure formed in a SOI layer. The fin structure has a sacrificial gate structure disposed on the fin structure between a first end of the fin structure and a second end of the fin structure. The method further includes depositing first doped semiconductor material on the first and second ends of the fin structure, where the first doped semiconductor material on the first end of the fin structure has one of the same doping polarity or an opposite doping polarity as the first doped semiconductor material on the second end of the fin structure. The method further includes removing the sacrificial gate structure to form a gap between the deposited first doped semiconductor material; depositing a second doped semiconductor material within the gap and forming first and second electrical contacts conductively connected to the first doped semiconductor material.
