Abstract
In fabricating a buried p-channel MOS transistor using an n-type substrate, a shallow n-type diffused layer is formed by ion implantation in each of intended source and drain regions so as to become oppositely adjacent to the shallow p-type diffused layer under the gate electrode. After that p-type diffused layers to serve as source and drain are formed by ion implantation through the n-type diffused layers, and the implanted impurities are activated. In consequence, impurity concentration at the substrate surface becomes lower in the section right under each end of the gate electrode than in the gate middle sections. This measure brings about suppression of the short channel effect inherent to conventional buried-channel MOS transistors and makes it possible to shorten the physical gate length.
