1. An integrated chip, comprising:
a semiconductor substrate; and
a first transistor on the semiconductor substrate and comprising a first gate structure over the semiconductor substrate, a first pair of source/drain regions on opposing sides of the first gate structure, and a pair of diffusion barrier structures between the first pair of source/drain regions and a lower region of the semiconductor substrate, wherein the first pair of source/drain regions comprise a first dopant, wherein the diffusion barrier structures are co-doped with the first dopant and a second dopant different from the first dopant, wherein a doping concentration of the first dopant within the first pair of source/drain regions is greater than a doping concentration of the first dopant within the diffusion barrier structures, wherein a doping concentration of the second dopant in the diffusion barrier structures continuously changes from upper surfaces of the diffusion barrier structures in a direction away from the first pair of source/drain regions.
