Abstract

A method of providing less than one micron p-n junction regions for IGFET devices in which a high concentration of arsenic is implanted so that its peak lies near the surface of a semiconductor substrate. Phosphorus is also implanted with an energy to provide a maximum concentration below that of the arsenic and of a magnitude at least one order of magnitude less than that of arsenic. An oxidation/anneal step thermally diffuses the implanted ions to form a junction less than one micron in thickness.
