Abstract

A method for producing a semiconductor device which comprises causing a dopant present in a semiconductor substrate to segregate in the surface of said semiconductor substrate, thereby forming a thin layer which has a higher dopant concentration than said substrate. The thin layer formed by segregation prevents punch-through which occurs as the result of miniaturization of MOSFET. This method permits economical delta doping without sacrificing the device characteristics.
