Abstract:
A method comprising the steps of:a) forming a radiant energy absorber layer over a gate region of at least one transistor device; andb) irradiating the transistor device with radiant energy to generate heat in source and drain regions, and to generate heat in the radiant energy absorber layer that passes through the gate region to portions of source and drain regions of the integrated transistor device adjacent the gate region;wherein the radiant energy used in said step b) is laser radiant energy irradiated in from one to ten shots with a pulse width of five to one thousand nanoseconds and a fluence of one-tenth (0.1) to one (1.0) Joules per square centimeter at a wavelength of one-tenth (0.1) to two (2) micrometers.
