Abstract
Ultra shallow, low resistance LDD junctions are achieved by forming an LDD implant generating an interstitial-rich section and forming a sub-surface, non-amorphous region generating a vacancy-rich region substantially overlapping the interstitial rich region generated when forming the LDD implant. Embodiments include ion implanting, Ge or Si to form surface amorphous and sub-surface, non-amorphous regions, and implanting B or BF.sub.2 to form the impurity region. Embodiments include forming the sub-surface, non-amorphous region before or after generating the surface amorphous region, and forming the impurity region before or after forming the sub-surface, non-amorphous region but after forming the surface amorphous region.
