Abstract:
Process for fabricating a transistor comprises producing source and drain extension regions, consisting in forming a gate region on a semiconductor substrate and in implanting dopants into the semiconductor substrate on either side of and at a certain distance from the gate of the transistor. The producing of the source and drain extension regions consists in forming an intermediate layer (Cl) on the sidewalls of the gate (GR) and on the surface of the semiconductor substrate. This intermediate layer is formed from a material that is less dense than silicon dioxide. The implantation of dopants (IMP) is carried out through that part of the intermediate layer that is located on the semiconductor substrate.
