Abstract
A method for forming a self-aligned twin well region is provided. The method includes implanting a first well type doping species into the DHL such that its distribution remains stopped in the DHL above the silicon substrate, etching away a portion of the DHL using a photoresist mask, implanting a second well type doping species into the portions of the silicon substrate exposed by the etching, and moving a portion of the first well type doping species into the silicon substrate.
