A transistor structure includes a channel located in an extremely thin silicon on insulator (ETSOI) layer and disposed between a raised source and a raised drain, a gate structure having a gate conductor disposed over the channel and between the source and the drain, and a gate spacer layer disposed over the gate conductor. The raised source and the raised drain each have a facet that is upwardly sloping away from the gate structure. A lower portion of the source and a lower portion of the drain are separated from the channel by an extension region containing a dopant species diffused from a dopant-containing glass.
