Abstract:
A method of forming an electrostatic discharge protected salicided device comprising:forming, on a single crystal substrate, a source region, a gate channel and a drain region, wherein the source region and drain region are formed by implanting ions of a first type using a low doping density process which includes implanting ions at a concentration generally in the range of 1.0.multidot.10.sup.18 cm.sup.-3 to 5.0.multidot.10.sup.19 cm.sup.-3 ;depositing a gate oxide layer over the gate channel;masking at least a portion of the drain region and at least a portion of the gate channel and gate oxide layer;implanting ions of a second type to form an area between the source region and gate channel and between the drain region and gate channel thereby to separate the drain region from the gate channel; andforming salicide layers over the drain region and source region, wherein the salicide layers are separated from the gate channel.
