Abstract

An impurity adsorption layer is selectively formed from a gas containing an impurity on a semiconductor surface. Solid-phase diffusion of the impurity is effected from the impurity adsorption layer into the semiconductor surface to form a source region and a drain region having a sufficiently small resistivity and an ultrashallow PN junction depth, thereby producing a metal-insulator semiconductor field-effect-transistor featuring fast operating speed and reduced dimensions.
