Abstract
A method for forming spacers of a gate of a transistor is provided, including: providing an active layer surmounted by a gate; forming a dielectric layer covering the gate and the active layer, the dielectric layer having lateral portions, and basal portions covering the active layer; anisotropically modifying the basal portions by implantation of hydrogen-based ions in a direction parallel to the lateral sides of the gate, forming modified basal portions; annealing desorbing the hydrogen from the active layer and transforming the modified basal portions into second modified basal portions; and removing the modified basal portions by selective etching of the modified dielectric material with respect to the non-modified dielectric material and with respect to the semiconductive material, so as to form the spacers on the lateral sides of the gate.
