ABSTRACT:
A method and a deep sub-micron FET structure for suppressing short channel effects and reducing gate-to-drain overlay capacitance and for making CMOS devices is achieved. The method for making these improved FETs includes forming a gate oxide and a patterned polysilicon layer for gate electrodes. Silicon nitride (Si.sub.3 N.sub.4) first sidewall spacers are formed on the sidewalls of the gate electrodes. After selectively removing the gate oxide adjacent to the first sidewall spacers, second sidewall spacers are formed from a doped oxide that serve as a solid-phase diffusion source. The source/drain contact areas are implanted adjacent to the second sidewall spacers. The substrate is then annealed to diffuse from the second sidewall spacers the lightly doped source/drains (LDDs). The Si.sub.3 N.sub.4 sidewall spacers serve as a diffusion barrier and the LDDs are formed finder the Si.sub.3 N.sub.4 spacers contiguous with the FET channel, resulting in reduced gate-to-drain overlay capacitance and improved immunity to hot electron effects. By including three additional masking steps, both N-channel and P-channel FETs can be formed for making CMOS devices.
