Summary: | Embodiments described herein generally relate to methods of manufacturing n-type lightly doped drains and p-type lightly doped drains. In one method, photoresist mask is used to etch a transistor, and the mask is left in place (i.e., reused) to protect other devices and poly while a high energy implantation is performed in alignment with the photoresist mask, such that the implantation is adjacent to the etched transistor. One example of a high energy implantation is forming lightly doped source and dram regions. This technique of reusing a photoresist mask can be employed for creating lightly doped source and drain regions of one conductivity followed by using the technique a second time to create lightly doped source and drain regions of the complementary conductivity type. This may prevent use of at least one hard mask during manufacturing. |
