Abstract

Abstract The present invention is a blanket well counter doping process for high speed and low power MOSFETs. An N-well region and a P-well region are in a substrate and a pad silicon oxide layer is on the substrate. A silicon nitride pattern is formed on the pad oxide layer to define active regions of the N-well and P-well region, a field oxide region is formed by using the silicon nitride as a mask. Afterward, an N-type ion implantation is implemented for anti-punchthrough region of the N-well region. A blanket P-type ion implantation is performed for N-well counter doping and P-well doping. A P-type low-energy and low-dosage ions is then implanted into the substrate for the threshold voltage adjustment. The last implantation stage is N-type and low dose to form a P-well counter doping region and an N-well doping region. Finally, a gate structure is manufactured on the N-well region and the P-well region and source/drain regions are fabricated in the P-well region and the N-well region to form an NMOS device and a PMOS device.
