  • Patent number: 6319783
    Abstract: A process for fabricating a MOSFET device, featuring source/drain extension regions, formed after the utilization of high temperature processes, such as heavily doped source/drain regions, has been developed. Disposable insulator spacers are formed on the sides of doped, SEG silicon regions, followed formation of a gate insulator layer, and an overlying gate structure, on a region of the semiconductor substrate located between the doped SEG silicon regions. The temperature experienced during these process steps result in the formation of the heavily doped source/drain, underlying the SEG silicon regions. Selective removal of the disposable spacers, allows the source/drain extension regions to be placed in the space vacated by the disposable spacers, adjacent to the heavily doped source/drain region. Insulator spacers are then used to fill the spaces vacated by removal of the disposable spacers, directly overlying the source/drain extension regions.
