Field effect transistor containing a wide band gap semiconductor material in a drain

A field effect transistor comprising a silicon containing body is provided. After formation of a gate dielectric, gate electrode, and a first gate spacer, a drain side trench is formed and filled with a wide band gap semiconductor material. Optionally, a source side trench may be formed and filled with a silicon germanium alloy to enhance an on-current of the field effect transistor. Halo implantation and source and drain ion implantation are performed to form various doped regions. Since the wide band gap semiconductor material as a wider band gap than that of silicon, impact ionization is reduced due to the use of the wide band gap semiconductor material in the drain, and consequently, a breakdown voltage of the field effect transistor is increased compared to transistors employing silicon in the drain region.

A semiconductor device is formed by performing an amorphizing ion implantation to implant dopants of a first conductivity type into a semiconductor body. The first ion implantation causes a defect area (e.g., end-of-range defects) within the semiconductor body at a depth. A non-amorphizing implantation implants dopants of the same conductivity type into the semiconductor body. This ion implantation step implants dopants throughout the defect area. The dopants can then be activated by heating the semiconductor body for less than 10 ms, e.g., using a flash anneal or a laser anneal.
