A low thermal budget process is demonstrated for the fabrication of submicron Boron doped polysilicon gate p-channel MOS devices with ultra thin gate insulators. All critical processing steps with temperatures above 700 °C, including gate oxide growth and shallow source/drain junction formation, were performed by Rapid Thermal Processing (RTP). In situ doped polysilicon was used to eliminate the need for a high temperature drive-in step. Surface channel p-channel enhancement mode devices with excellent characteristics were fabricated to demonstrate the feasibility of this process.
