Abstract
A transistor is formed which has improved hot carrier immunity. On a substrate, between two source/drain regions, a gate region is formed over a dielectric region. An implant is used to dope the source/drain regions. After doping the source/drain regions, a tilted angle nitrogen implant is performed to implant nitrogen into areas of the dielectric region overlaying the drain/source regions of the transistor. The tilted angle nitrogen implant may be performed before or after forming spacer regions on sides of the gate region.
