Abstract
Methods for semiconductor fabrication include forming a well in a semiconductor substrate. A pocket is formed within the well, the pocket having an opposite doping polarity as the well to provide a p-n junction between the well and the pocket. Defects are created at the p-n junction such that a leakage resistance of the p-n junction is decreased.
