Abstract A method for fabricating an asymmetry HS-GOLD MOSFET by use of a photo etch process in place of a large tilt implantation process, capable of improving a packing density and reducing a junction capacitance of a source region, thereby improving a characteristic of a device to be finally produced. The method includes the steps of forming a gate insulating film and a gate on a p - type semiconductor substrate, implanting n type impurity ions in the semiconductor substrate so as to symmetrically form n - type source and drain regions in the semiconductor substrate, forming an insulating film over the entire exposed surface of the resulting structure, subjecting the insulating to an anisotropic etching to form spacers at respective side walls of the gate, implanting n type impurity ions in the semiconductor substrate so as to form n + type high concentration source and drain regions respectively adjacent to the n - type source and drain regions, coating a photoresist film over the entire exposed surface of the resulting structure, subjecting the photoresist film to a patterning to expose one of the spacers disposed toward the source region, removing the exposed spacer, and implanting p type impurity ions in the semiconductor substrate through an area defined by removal of the spacer so as to form a p type halo region.
A method for fabricating a transistor comprising the steps of: forming a gate insulating film and a gate on a low concentration semiconductor substrate of a first conductivity type; implanting impurity ions of a second conductivity type in said semiconductor substrate under a condition that said gate is used as a mask so as to symmetrically form low concentration source and drain regions of said second conductivity type in the semiconductor substrate; forming an insulating film over the entire exposed surface of the resulting structure, and subjecting said insulating to an anisotropic etching to form spacers at respective side walls of the gate; implanting impurity ions of said second conductivity type in the semiconductor substrate under a condition that said spacers and gate are used as a mask so as to form high concentration source and drain regions of the second conductivity type respectively adjacent to said low concentration source and drain regions; coating a photoresist film over the entire exposed surface of the resulting structure, and subjecting said photoresist film to a patterning to expose one of the spacers disposed toward the low concentration source region; removing said exposed spacer; and implanting impurity ions of said first conductivity type in the semiconductor substrate through an area defined by removal of the spacer so as to form a p type halo region in a region occupied by the low concentration source region.
