Abstract
An ion implantation device and a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device is described, wherein ionized boron hydride molecular clusters are implanted to form P-type transistor structures. For example, in the fabrication of Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) devices, the clusters are implanted to provide P-type doping for Source and Drain structures and for Polygates; these doping steps are critical to the formation of PMOS transistors. The molecular cluster ions have the chemical form BnHx+ and BnHx−, where 10≦n≦100 and 0≦x≦n+4.
Claims2
A method of implanting ions comprising the steps of:
- (a) generating boron hydride BnHm ions where n and m are integers and n>10 and m>0;
- and
- (b) implanting said boron hydride ions into a target.
