Abstract

A method for fabricating a metal-oxide semiconductor transistor is disclosed. First, a semiconductor substrate having a gate structure thereon is provided, and a spacer is formed around the gate structure. An ion implantation process is performed to implant a molecular cluster containing boron into the semiconductor substrate surrounding the spacer for forming a source/drain region. The weight ratio of each boron atom within the molecular cluster is preferably less than 10%. Thereafter, a millisecond annealing process is performed to activate the molecular cluster within the source/drain region.
