Self-limited shallow junction under source/drain and halo doping effect at the channel region were formed by PiOX.

However there is another path for boron to penetrate to gate-oxide from the substrate, where this technique is helpless. We found that boron penetration from the S/D-extension becomes crucial issue on gate leakage and gate-oxide integrity especially for deep sub-micron pMOS, where stress from the sidewall and interlayer dielectrics accelerates to deteriorate those gate-oxide characteristics. We demonstrate that nitridation after gate etching is very efficient to control this new degradation mode.
