Abstract
Various methods of fabricating halo regions are disclosed. In one aspect, a method of manufacturing is provided that includes forming a symmetric transistor gate and an asymmetric transistor gate on a substrate. The symmetric and asymmetric transistor gates are substantially perpendicular. A mask is formed on the substrate with a first opening and a second opening. The first opening is sized to enable implantation of first and second halo regions beneath the symmetric transistor gate. The second opening is sized to enable implantation of a third halo region beneath and on one but not both sides of the asymmetric gate. The first and second halo regions are formed beneath the first gate by implanting through the first opening toward opposite sides of the symmetric gate. The third halo region is formed beneath and proximate one but not both sides of the asymmetric transistor gate by implanting through the second opening.
