Abstract: A method for manufacturing an integrated circuit includes providing one or more n-type field effect transistor and one or more p-type field effect transistor on a semiconductor substrate. Each of the transistors separated by a trench isolation structure. Each of the transistors has a source and drain regions formed in the semiconductor layer and a gate electrode formed above the semiconductor layer. An oxide liner is deposited across the upper surface of the integrated circuit and onto each of the one or more n-type field effect transistors and one or more p-type field effect transistors. A nitride liner depositing is deposited the oxide liner. At least a portion of the nitride liner on each of the one or more p-type field effect transistor is removed to form nitride sidewall spacers. Additional source and drain regions are implanted into the one or more p-type field effect transistors. The integrated circuit is annealed. The nitride liner is removed from the one or more n-type field effect transistors.
