Abstract

An improved source/drain extension process is provided by the following processing steps of implanting NMOS devices directly on either side of the gates without an oxide layer (step D2), covering the gates with a cap oxide layer(step E2), covering NMOS devices with photoresist(step F2), dry etching all PMOS devices (Step G2), and implanting PMOS devices (step I2).
