Abstract
Multiple blanket implantations of one or more p type dopants into a semiconductor substrate are performed to facilitate isolation between nwell regions subsequently formed in the substrate. The blanket implantations are performed through isolation regions in the substrate so that the p type dopants are implanted to depths sufficient to separate the nwell regions. This increased concentration of p type dopants helps to mitigate leakage between the nwell regions as the nwell regions are brought closer together to increase packing densities.
