Abstract: A narrow groove is formed over a substrate. To form such a narrow groove, a first material is formed over a substrate, the first material having a sidewall. A spacer is formed abutting the sidewall. Subsequently a second material is formed adjacent to the spacer. The spacer is removed leaving a groove between the first material and second material. In one embodiment, the groove is filled with material for a narrow feature, such as a gate, and the first material and second material are removed. As a result a gate or other narrow feature is formed having a length defined by the width of a spacer. In another embodiment, an implant is performed through the small groove, resulting in a small localized implant.

Abstract: A CMOS semiconductor device having shallow source/drain junctions is formed by ion implanting antimony to form lightly doped source/drain regions of an N-channel transistor, thereby reducing channeling for a shallower projected junction depth as compared to conventional N-type impurity implantations. Upon growing a thermal oxide screen layer to protect the substrate from subsequent ion implantations, the implanted antimony experiences oxidation-retarded diffusion, further reducing the projected junction depth. After ion implanting N-type impurities to form moderately or heavily doped source/drain regions and activation annealing, the resulting semiconductor device exhibits the desirably shallow LDD junctions.

Abstract: Semiconductor devices comprising a plurality of active device regions formed in a common semiconductor substrate, e.g., CMOS devices, are formed by utilizing shallow trench isolation (STI) technology enhanced by selectively implanting the bottom surface of the trench with dopant diffusion inhibiting ions prior to filling the trench with a dielectric material and formation of opposite conductivity type well regions on either side of the trench. The inventive methodology effectively reduces or substantially eliminates deleterious counterdoping of the subsequently formed well regions resulting from thermally-induced lateral inter-diffusion of p-type and/or n-type dopant impurities used for forming the well regions.

Abstract: Submicron-dimensioned MOS and/or CMOS transistors are fabricated by a process employing removable sidewall spacers made of a material, such as UV-nitride, which is readily etched in its as-deposited, undensified state but difficult-to-etch in its thermally annealed, densified state. The as-deposited, undensified spacers are removed by etching with dilute aqueous HF after implantation of heavily-sloped source/drain junction regions but prior to annealing of the implant for dopant diffusion/activation and lattice damage relaxation. Lightly-or moderately doped, shallow-depth source/drain extensions are implanted and annealed after spacer removal.
