Spacers 109 may be formed at this time (e.g., before extended diffusion region implantation, before deep diffusion region implantation and/or before nitrogen implantation) or at a later time (e.g., after extended diffusion region implantation, after deep diffusion region implantation or after nitrogen implantation) . If an extended source/drain region implantation is performed, the extended source/drain region implantation and the nitrogen implantation are preferably performed prior to the formation of spacers 109, and the deep implantation is preferably performed after the formation of spacers 109. This is illustratively shown in FIG. 12 below.
- a angle-tilt-nitrogen implantation is advantageously employed.
- nitrogen is not a commonly used ion species in Si ultra- large scale integration (ULSI) . It cannot be used as an n- type dopant because of its low solubility in Si.
- the solid solubility of nitrogen in Si is 5 ⁇ l0 15 cm 3 and its activation ratio is below 1%. Thus, no extra electrical effect by nitrogen implantation is expected.
- the nitrogen ions act as sites of interstitial traps and strain-induced gettering and therefore suppress dopant diffusion, especially in the case of boron dopants.

- Nitrogen implantation energy is selected to cover the subsequently implanted dopant (e.g., boron) peak regions or slightly below these regions, not tail regions of boron (tail regions are the low concentration regions or "tails" of a concentration distribution curve) . That is, the projected range (Rp) of nitrogen is preferably about the same as that of boron.
- Nitrogen dose may range from about l ⁇ l0 14 /cm 2 to about 5 ⁇ l0 1 ⁇ /cm 2 .
- Nitrogen (N + ) energy may range from between about 10 keV to about 50 keV for tilt-angle-nitrogen implantation.
- nitrogen implantation energy is selected to cover the subsequently formed dopant (e.g., boron) peak region, e.g., a same depth as the dopant implantation, vertical diffusion is permitted (e.g., deeper into the substrate) for the dopants while lateral diffusion is reduced or suppressed. Lateral diffusion length of dopants can be adjusted by tilt angle and nitrogen dose. Thus, effective channel length (L eff ) can be easily adjusted by large-angle-tilt-nitrogen implantation .

Alternately, both an extended implantation region 150 and a deep implantation region 152 may be employed, as shown in FIG. 11. However, extended junctions, as described above, are no longer needed, but both deep and extended regions may be maintained, if desired.
- dopants of source and drain regions 111 and 113 are implanted at an energy between about 5 and 50 keV at a dose of between about 5 ⁇ l0 14 /cm 2 and about 5 ⁇ l0 5 /cm 2 .

- spacers 109 are formed after the implantation of dopants as shown in FIG. 7.
- the anneal process may include a rapid thermal anneal (RTA) , a furnace anneal (FA) or other anneal process .
- RTA rapid thermal anneal
- FA furnace anneal
- the temperature of the anneal is sufficient to cause the appropriate amount of diffusion.
- RTA temperatures in the range of about 850°C and about 1050 °C are employed.
- RTA times may be between about 5 seconds and about 30 seconds.
- FA temperatures in the range of between about 750 °C and about 900 °C are employed.
- FA times may be between about 10 minutes and about 40 minutes.

- Regions 150 may be implanted with dopants having a projected range of less than, equal to, or greater than the projected range of the nitrogen impurities of region 131. In this way, vertical and lateral diffusion may be suppressed (in the case of less than the projected range of the nitrogen impurities of region 131) , or lateral diffusion suppressed (in the case of greater than or equal to the projected range of the nitrogen impurities of region 131) .
- a deep source drain implant is performed to form regions 152.
- FIG. 11, shows the case where region 150 is formed with dopants having a projected range of less than the projected range of the nitrogen impurities of region 131. In an alternate embodiment, the deep implant may be performed before spacers 109 are formed.
- Deep source/drain implantation may be performed through contact openings 144 in a dielectric layer 140.
- Extended regions 150 are shown to be implanted with dopants having a projected range of greater than the projected range of the nitrogen impurities of region 131, and the dopants of regions 150 have diffused vertically, e.g., deeper into substrate 104, while lateral diffusion below gate stack 102 is suppressed.

Abstract
L'invention concerne un procédé permettant de supprimer la diffusion latérale dans des processus de fabrication de semi-conducteurs, consistant à former un empilement de grille (102) sur un substrat semi-conducteur (104) et à incorporer de l'azote (131) dans ledit substrat à un angle par rapport audit empilement de grille, de sorte que des dopants azote sont incorporés en dessous de l'empilement de grille. On incorpore des dopants pour former des régions source/drain (111, 113) dans le substrat adjacent à l'empilement de grille. Ces dopants s'étendent sur une profondeur au moins égale à une profondeur de l'azote incorporé dans le substrat de sorte que la diffusion latérale des dopants en dessous de l'empilement de grille est éliminée.
