Abstract

An asymmetrical N-channel IGFET and a symmetrical P-channel IGFET are disclosed. The N-channel IGFET includes heavily doped and ultra-heavily doped source regions, and lightly doped and heavily doped drain regions. The P-channel IGFET includes lightly doped and heavily doped source and drain regions. Forming the N-channel IGFET includes forming a gate with first and second opposing sidewalls, applying a first ion implantation to implant lightly doped N-type source and drain regions, applying a second ion implantation to convert the lightly doped N-type source region into a heavily doped N-type source region without doping the lightly doped N-type drain region, forming first and second spacers adjacent to the first and second sidewalls, respectively, and applying a third ion implantation to convert a portion of the heavily doped N-type source region outside the first spacer into an ultra-heavily doped N-type source region without doping a portion of the heavily doped N-type source region beneath the first spacer, and to convert a portion of the lightly doped N-type drain region outside the second spacer into a heavily doped N-type drain region without doping a portion of the lightly doped N-type drain region beneath the second spacer. Advantageously, both IGFETs reduce hot carrier effects, and the N-channel IGFET has particularly low source-drain series resistance.
