Method of making a semiconductor device

A method of fabricating a semiconductor device includes forming a gate structure, a first edge structure and a second edge structure on a semiconductor strip. The method further includes forming a first source/drain feature between the gate structure and the first edge structure. The method further includes forming a second source/drain feature between the gate structure and the second edge structure, wherein a distance between the gate structure and the first source/drain feature is different from a distance between the gate structure and the second source/drain feature. The method further includes implanting a buried channel in the semiconductor strip, wherein the buried channel is entirely below a top-most surface of the semiconductor strip, a maximum depth of the buried channel is less than a maximum depth of the first source/drain feature, and a dopant concentration of the buried channel is highest under the gate structure.
