Abstract:
A method for providing a semiconductor device and the device so formed are described. A doped semiconductor layer is deposited on a semiconductor underlayer. At least a portion of the semiconductor underlayer is exposed. A dopant for the doped semiconductor layer is selected from a p-type dopant and an n-type dopant. An ultraviolet-assisted low temperature (UVLT) anneal of the doped semiconductor layer is performed in an ambient. The ambient is selected from an oxidizing ambient and a nitriding ambient. The oxidizing ambient is used for the n-type dopant. The nitriding ambient is used for the p-type dopant. A sacrificial layer is formed by the doped semiconductor layer during the UVLT anneal. The dopant is driven into the portion of the semiconductor underlayer from the doped semiconductor layer by the UVLT anneal, thereby forming a doped semiconductor underlayer. The sacrificial layer is then removed.

Claim (Index 13):
A semiconductor device comprising:\n a plurality of CMOS devices, each of the plurality of CMOS devices including a doped structure formed by depositing a doped semiconductor layer on a semiconductor underlayer at least a portion of which is exposed, performing an ultraviolet-assisted low temperature (UVLT) anneal of the doped semiconductor layer in an ambient thereby forming a sacrificial layer from the doped semiconductor layer and removing the sacrificial layer, a dopant for the doped semiconductor layer being selected from a p-type dopant and an n-type dopant, the ambient being selected from an oxidizing ambient and a nitriding ambient, the oxidizing ambient being for the n-type dopant, the nitriding ambient being for the p-type dopant, the dopant being driven into the at least the portion of the semiconductor underlayer from the doped semiconductor layer by the UVLT anneal to from a doped semiconductor underlayer, at least a portion of the doped structure being formed by the doped semiconductor underlayer.
