Claims
- 1. A method for forming an MOS transistor with reduced parasitic transistor current gain, comprising the steps of:
- introducing a first dopant of a first conductivity type into a first region of a substrate of a second conductivity type, said first dopant being a slow diffusing type;
- introducing a second dopant of a first conductivity type into said first region, said second dopant being a fast diffusing type;
- growing an epitaxial layer of a second conductivity type at least over said first region, said epitaxial layer having an upper surface;
- introducing said second dopant of a first conductivity type into said upper surface of said epitaxial layer over said first region to form an upper well region, said dopant from said upper well region diffusing and merging together with said second dopant introduced into said first region of said substrate to form a continuous well region, said first dopant, being of a slow diffusing type, diffusing a relatively small distance into said epitaxial layer and forming a buried layer;
- introducing a third dopant of a second conductivity type into second and third regions within said upper well region, said second and third regions forming a source region and drain region, respectively;
- forming a gate oxide layer over said upper well region between said source region and said drain region; and
- forming a control gate over said gate oxide layer.
- 2. The method of claim 1 wherein both of said steps of introducing a second dopant are further characterized in that said concentration of dopants in said first region of said substrate and said upper well region diffuse so as not to adversely affect the breakdown voltage of the device as compared to the breakdown voltage of the device without said second dopant introduced into said region of said substrate.
- 3. The method of claim 2 wherein said first dopant is selected from the group consisting of antimony and arsenic and said second dopant is phosphorus.
- 4. The method of claim 2 further comprising the step of introducing said third dopant of a second conductivity type into a fourth region to form a lightly doped drain extension contiguous with said drain region.
- 5. The method of claim 2 further comprising the step of introducing a dopant of first conductivity type into a region of said upper well region to form a well contact region.
- 6. The method of claim 2 wherein said first dopant is boron and said second dopant is aluminum.
