Abstract

A method of threshold adjust implantation which involves the implanting of some of the PMOS FETs' channels on a CMOS circuit so the PMOS FETs have a threshold voltage of substantially zero volts, the implanting involves an additional implantation of ions into the PMOS FET' channels in addition to the implantation required to raise the PMOS FET' threshold voltage from the native threshold voltage to the normal threshold voltage.
