Method of fabricating MOSFET transistors with multiple threshold voltages by halo compensation and masks

摘要

A method for processing dual threshold nMOSFETs and pMOSFETs requiring only one additional masking and implantation operation over single threshold MOSFETs is disclosed. The additional mask and implant operation both enhances the threshold voltage doping of one type of FET and compensates the threshold voltage doping of another type of FET. Where a first threshold voltage implant sets the threshold voltage for an NMOS device to a low threshold voltage, and a second threshold voltage implant sets the threshold voltage for a PMOS device to a high threshold voltage, a third implant may both enhance a NMOS device threshold implant to set the threshold voltage high while compensating a PMOS device threshold implant to set the threshold voltage low.
