The invention provides a method to enhance the programmability of a prompt-shift device, which reduces the programming time to sub-millisecond times, by altering the extension and halo implants, instead of simply omitting the same from one side of the device as is the case in the prior art prompt-shift devices. The invention includes an embodiment in which no additional masks are employed, or one additional mask is employed. The altered extension implant is performed at a reduced ion dose as compared to a conventional extension implant process, while the altered halo implant is performed at a higher ion dose than a conventional halo implant. The altered halo/extension implant shifts the peak of the electrical field to under an extension dielectric spacer.
