A method for forming a CMOS device, with improved yield, performance and reliability characteristics, has been developed. Yield improvements have been addressed by the use of a dual insulator spacer, used to reduce the risk of salicide bridging, as well as the use of pocket implantation regions, used to reduce punchthrough leakage. An ultra shallow junction extension region has been created in a peripheral channel region, reducing the resistance of this region, thus enhancing the performance of the CMOS device. In addition, ultra lightly doped source and drain regions are used to relax reliability concerns, regarding hot electron injection.
