Abstract

A polysilicon structure may be defined on a semiconductor substrate using plasma doping to dope the sidewalls and upper surface of the polysilicon material as well as the source drain extensions. Shortly after plasma doping, the structure may be encapsulated within a suitable capping layer to prevent the removal of the thin surface doped regions during subsequent semiconductor processing.
