Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of semiconductor manufacturing, in particular to a transistor and a method for forming the transistor. Background technique [0002] With the continuous improvement of the integration of semiconductor devices, the feature size is gradually reduced, the length of the channel of the transistor is also gradually reduced, and the thickness of the gate dielectric layer is also continuously reduced. Since the gate voltage will not continue to decrease (currently at least 1V ), so that the electric field strength received by the gate oxide layer becomes larger, and time-dependent dielectric breakdown (TDDB: Time Dependent Dielectric Breakdown) is also more likely to occur, and it is easy to form a hot carrier injection effect (HCI: Hot Carrier Injection). [0003] In the prior art, the lightly doped source and drain (LDD: Lightly Doped Drain) ion implantation is usually used to optimize the hot carrier injection effect. By r...

[0004] However, the above method may lead to short channel effect (SCE: Short Channel Effect). In order to alleviate the short channel effect, in the prior art, after the lightly doped source and drain regions are formed, the Pocket implantation is performed on both sides of the channel region, and the type of impurity ions implanted in the pocket region is opposite to the type of impurity ions implanted in the lightly doped source and drain regions, so that the lightly doped source and drain regions are close to the channel The depletion region on both sides of the channel region is narrowed, which can alleviate the short channel effect

[0005] Although the introduction of technologies such as LDD and Pocket can improve the performance of the transistor to a certain extent, the electrical performance of the transistor formed by the existing technology still needs to be improved, such as the operation speed of the transistor is low, the power consumption is high, and the latch-up is prone to occur in the transistor effect
