    Abstract: A CMOS integrated circuit includes an NMOS transistor and a PMOS transistor in an integrated circuit substrate. The NMOS transistor and the PMOS transistor each include a gate, and a source/drain on opposing sides of the gate. An insulating layer is located on the integrated circuit substrate. The insulating layer includes a contact hole therein which exposes a portion of a corresponding one of the source/drains. A source/drain plug is formed in the corresponding one of the source/drains. The source/drain plug is of opposite conductivity from the corresponding one of the source/drains. The source/drain plug is centered about the portion of the corresponding one of the source/drains. The source/drain plug may be formed by ion implantation through the contact hole and is thereby self-aligned to the contact hole. The source/drain plug can compensate for misalignment and the diffusion for highly integrated CMOS devices.

    Abstract: A diffusion system for manufacturing semiconductor devices has an air curtain formed across a furnace opening for preventing the loss of heat energy from inside the furnace. The diffusion system includes the furnace having an opening through which a wafer boat having a plurality of wafers is loaded/unloaded; an air curtain apparatus for spraying a gas across the opening so as to form an air curtain cutting off the atmosphere inside of the furnace from the outside environment; and a controlling unit for controlling the air curtain apparatus by applying on/off signals to the air curtain apparatus. The diffusion system is controlled by the controlling unit so as to form the air curtain at the opening of the furnace while the wafer boat moves in and out of the furnace. After the wafer boat is completely loaded into the furnace, the air curtain is removed.
