Abstract

See full text

A method for forming a CMOS transistor gate with a self-aligned channel implant. A semiconductor structure having a first active area is provided. A first insulating layer is formed on the semiconductor structure, and a second insulating layer is formed on the first insulating layer. The second insulating layer is patterned using a poly reverse mask and an etch selective to the first insulating layer to form a first channel implant opening, and the poly reverse mask is removed. A first channel implant mask is formed exposing the first channel implant opening. Impurity ions are implanted through the first channel implant opening to form a first threshold adjust region and a first anti-punchthrough region. A gate layer is formed over the semiconductor structure, and the first gate layer is planarized to form a gate electrode. The second insulating layer is removed, and lightly doped source and drain regions, sidewall spacers and source and drain regions can be formed adjacent the gate electrode.
