摘要:
A method forms a gate conductor over a substrate, and simultaneously forms spacers on sides of the gate conductor and a gate cap on the top of the gate conductor. Isolation regions are formed in the substrate and the method implants an impurity into exposed regions of the substrate not protected by the gate conductor and the spacers to form source and drain regions. The method deposits a mask over the gate conductor, the spacers, and the source and drain regions. The mask is recessed to a level below a top of the gate conductor but above the source and drain regions, such that the spacers are exposed and the source and drain regions are protected by the mask. With the mask in place, the method then safely removes the spacers and the gate cap, without damaging the source/drain regions or the isolation regions (which are protected by the mask). Next, the method removes the mask and then forms silicide regions on the gate conductor and the source and drain regions.

A method of forming a field effect transistor is provided which includes forming an amorphized semiconductor region having a first depth from a single-crystal semiconductor region and subsequently forming a first gate conductor above a channel portion of the amorphized semiconductor region. A first dopant including at least one of an n-type dopant and a p-type dopant is then implanted to a second depth into portions of the amorphized semiconductor region not masked by the first gate conductor to form source/drain portions adjacent to the channel portion. The substrate is then heated to recrystallize the channel portion and the source/drain portions of the amorphized semiconductor region. After the heating step, at least a part of the recrystallized semiconductor region is locally heated to activate a dopant in at least one of the channel portion and the source/drain portion.
