Dopant deactivation of source/drain extensions during silicidation is reduced by forming deep source/drain regions using a disposable dummy gate as a mask, forming metal silicide layers on the deep source/drain regions, removing the dummy gate and then forming the source/drain extensions using laser thermal annealing. Embodiments include angular ion implantation, after removing the dummy gate, to form spaced apart pre-amorphized regions, ion implanting to form source/drain extension implants extending deeper into the substrate than the pre-amorphized regions, and then laser thermal annealing to activate the source/drain extensions having a higher impurity concentration at the main surface of the substrate than deeper into the substrate. Subsequent processing includes forming sidewall spacers, a gate dielectric layer and then the gate electrode.
