<p>N- and P-channel transistor characteristics are independently optimized for CMOS semiconductor devices with design features of 0.25 microns and under. Removable second sidewall spacers are formed on the N-channel transistor gate electrode having first sidewall spacers thereon. Ion implantation is conducted to form N-type moderately/heavily doped implants followed by activation annealing. The second sidewall spacer is then removed from the P-channel transistor leaving first sidewall spacers thereon serving as an ion implantation mask for the P-type lightly doped implants. Subsequently, third sidewall spacers are formed on the P-channel gate electrode having first sidewall spacers thereon followed by ion implantation to form the P-type moderately or heavily doped implants, with subsequent activation annealing. Embodiments enable complete independent control of the channel lengths of the N- and P-channel transistors by varying the width of the first, second and third sidewall spacers.</p> |
