  • Patent number: 7871871
    Abstract: In mass production of CMIS integrated circuit devices or the like, electric characteristics, such as Vth (threshold voltage) or the like, disadvantageously vary due to variations in gate length of the MISFET. This problem has become serious because of a short channel effect. In order to solve the problem, various kinds of feed-forward techniques have been studied in which a subsequent variation factor process is regulated to be reversed with respect to variations in a previous variation factor process so as to cause these variation factors to cancel each other out. Since the feed-back technique has an effect of the cancellation process over the entire system, the technique can be relatively easily applied to a product with a single type of MISFE, but is difficult to be applied to a product equipped with a plurality of types of MISFETs.

  • Publication number: 20030008462
    Abstract: An impurity having a high electrical activation rate is introduced into a channel region, while an In implanted layer is formed in a very shallow region of the channel region. Impurities B, P are re-distributed such that their maximum impurity concentrations are reached at the same depth of a maximum impurity concentration in the In implanted layer, to form channel impurity regions which electrically act as impurities such as B, P, with a similar depth distribution to that of In. The resulting impurity distribution contributes both to the prevention of a punch-through phenomenon and to a large current driving capability of a highly miniaturized complementary MOS transistor.
