The low-energy tilted ion implantation (I/I) for fin-type double-gate metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (FinFET) source-drain (SD) extension doping is systematically investigated experimentally by fabricating a series of n(+)-polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) gate n-channel FinFETs under different I/I conditions. The on-state current (I-ON) versus off-state current (I-OFF) and the SD parasitic resistance (R-p) are used for benchmarking the performance of the fabricated devices to investigate the optimal extension I/I conditions, including dose (D) and tilted angle (theta), at a fixed low energy of 5 keV. It is experimentally found that the best extension I/I conditions are D = 4 x 10(14) cm(-2) and theta = 60 degrees. With further increasing D, the device performance deteriorates owing to the incomplete recrystallization of amorphous regions in the thin extension regions. In the case of theta = 0 degrees, marked increment and fluctuations in R-p are observed because the implant atoms scatter out randomly from each extension region. The R-p value of the FinFETs fabricated under the above best I/I conditions is comparable to that of devices fabricated by the solid-phase diffusion of phosphors from phosphosilicate glass (PSG). This indicates that the extension I/I conditions of D = 4 x 10(14) cm(-2) and theta = 60 degrees are almost optimal and is very effective for high-performance FinFET fabrication.
