Abstract
The extent of n+ source/drain implant shadowing by the LDD (lightly doped drain) oxide sidewall spacer was studied for the commonly used 7 degrees wafer-to-implant beam tilt. A clear asymmetry in substrate current characteristics was observed between normal and reverse polarity, despite the use of 0 degrees tilt for the n- LDD implant. The results suggest that 0 degrees tilt should be used for both n- (LDD) and n+ (source/drain) implants.
