Abstract

See full text

A self-aligned MOSFET incorporating a punchthrough implant, and the method for forming such a transistor. A dielectric layer is used as a hard mask over a semiconductor substrate. A portion of the dielectric layer is removed to expose a region of the semiconductor substrate. A punchthrough implant is made with the remaining portion of the dielectric layer acting as a mask layer such that the doping concentration is raised by the punchthrough implant only in the exposed region of the semiconductor substrate. A doped layer of polysilicon is formed over the region into which the implant was made to provide a self-aligned gate over the highly doped region. A source and drain are formed on opposite sides of the doped region. A protective layer is formed over the device and metallized contacts are formed to the source, drain, and gate.
