摘要:
A method for forming a lightly doped drain (LDD) region in a semiconductor substrate. The method includes generating an ion beam of a selected species, and accelerating the ion beam, wherein the accelerated ion beam includes a first accelerated portion and a second accelerated portion. The method further includes deflecting the accelerating ion beam, wherein the first and second accelerated portions are concurrently deflected into a first path trajectory having a first deflected angle and second path trajectory having a second deflected angle. In an embodiment, the first and second path trajectories travel in the same direction, which is perpendicular to the surface region of the semiconductor wafer, and the first deflected angle is greater than the second deflected angle. In an embodiment, the selected species may include an n-type ion comprising phosphorous (P), arsenic (As), or antimony (Sb).

An apparatus for data strobe and timing variation detection of an SDRAM interface includes a differential-signal to single-end signal converter, a first phase delay circuit, a data latch circuit. The differential-signal to single-end signal converter receives a differential data strobe signal from the SDRAM interface and converts the signal into a single-end data strobe signal. The first phase delay circuit is connected to the differential-signal to single-end signal converter to delay the phase of the single-end data strobe signal for producing a delayed data strobe signal. The data latch circuit is connected to the phase delay circuit to latch synchronous data from the SDRAM interface according to the delayed single-end data strobe signal.

A method for forming a MOS device with an ultra shallow lightly doped diffusion region. The method includes providing a semiconductor substrate including a surface region. The method provides a gate dielectric layer overlying the surface region and forms a gate structure overlying a portion of the gate dielectric layer. The method includes performing a first implant process using a germanium species to form an amorphous region within a lightly doped drain region in the semiconductor substrate using the gate structure as a mask. In a specific embodiment, the method includes performing a second implant process in the lightly doped drain region using a P type impurity and a carbon species using the gate structure as a mask. The method includes performing a first thermal process to activate the P type impurity in the lightly doped drain region. The method includes forming side wall spacers overlying a portion of the gate structure and performing a third implant process using a first impurity to form active source/drain regions in a vicinity of the surface region of the semiconductor substrate adjacent to the gate structure using the gate structure and the side wall spacer as a masking layer. The method then performs a second thermal process to activate the first impurity in the active source/drain regions.
