Abstract

A method for manufacturing a DRAM device includes the step of implanting phosphor at a specified dosage and heat treating the implanted phosphor for diffusion thereof to form source/drain regions, and implanting fluorine into the source/drain regions and heat treating the implanted fluorine for diffusion thereof. The resultant DRAM memory cell has a larger data storage capability due to lower junction leakage current caused by vacancy type defects formed in the metallurgical junction between the source/drain regions and the channel region.
