Short-channel MOS FET’s fabricated by self-aligned ion implantation and laser annealing

Abstract
Short‐channel MOS FET’s are successfully fabricated using Q‐switched ruby laser irradiation on As‐implanted sources and drains. Implantation and laser irradiation are both self‐aligned by the polysilicon gate electrodes. The threshold‐voltage–vs–channel‐length relation is improved as a result of the extremely limited lateral diffusion of implanted As atoms.
