A novel technique for the fabrication of shallow, silicided p+-n junctions with excellent electrical characteristics has been developed. The technique utilizes the ion implantation of dopants into silicide layers formed by ion-beam mixing with Si ions and low temperature annealing, and the subsequent drive-in of implanted dopants into the Si substrates to form shallow junctions. This technique can be easily applied to the fabrication of MOSFETs in a self-aligned fashion, and can have a significant impact on CMOS VLSI technology.
