Transistor structure having buried island regions

摘要

A semiconductor device such as a transistor includes a source region, a drain region, a semiconductor region, at least one island region and at least one gate region. The semiconductor region is located between the source region and the drain region. The island region is located in the semiconductor region. Each of the island regions differs from the semiconductor region in one or more characteristics selected from the group including resistivity, doping type, doping concentration, strain and material composition. The gate region is located between the source region and the drain region covering at least a portion of the island regions.
