Patent ID: 7071069

Claim:
A method for forming an amorphous shallow implant region that getters defects from a pocket implantation; comprising: a) providing a gate structure, on a substrate comprised with a first conductivity type dopant; said substrate comprised of an upper crystalline section; b) performing a pocket amorphizing implantation procedure to implant ions of a first conductivity type to form a pocket implant region adjacent to said gate structure, and an amorphous pocket region; (1) said amorphous pocket region is formed at a first depth below the substrate surface; c) performing a shallow amorphizing implant to form an amorphous shallow implant region; (1) said amorphous shallow implant region being formed at a second depth above said amorphous pocket region; d) performing an anneal procedure to recrystalize the amorphous shallow implant region and said amorphous pocket region, whereby said amorphous shallow implant region reduces defects formed by the pocket amorphizing implant.
