Popis: We report the porous nature of electron‐beam evaporated silicon on the sidewalls of metal‐oxide‐semiconductor field‐effect transistor (MOSFET) gate spacers. This property was used to develop and fabricate submicron elevated source/drain MOSFETs with 200–500 A ultrashallow junctions. Using electron‐beam evaporated silicon reduces fabrication complexity, overcomes common problems inherent to elevated source/drain MOSFETs, and yields a self‐aligned process.
