Abstract

A method of ion implanting a substrate is disclosed, which includes providing a substrate having a surface. A sacrificial layer of semiconductor material is formed on the surface and resistlessly patterning to define masked and unmasked portions. The unmasked portions are etched away to form an implantation mask on the substrate. Ions are implanted in the substrate underlying the etched away unmasked portions and the sacrificial layer is removed.
