well. Those parameters were discussed in comparison with saturation drain current and substrate current of CMOSFET. 0.5 pm CMOS ring-oscillators with LDD-type surfacechannel n-MOSFETs and EPS-type buried-channel pMOSFETs with asymmetridsymmetric source/drain fabricated by four kinds of ion-implantation methods 2. EXPERIMENTS were measured for evaluating the circuit performance. Figure 1 shows perspective views of a CMOSET with The ion-implantation methods were correlated to supply-(a) an LDD-type surface-channel n-MOSFET and (b) a current/oscillation-frequencyldelay-power product and buried-channel p-MOSET (hereafter called EPS-type p substrate current of the ring-Oscilk+tor. The most MOSFET) with n --F k e t s used as efficient punchthrough preferable implantation method was the symmetric 7"X4-stops (EPS). The MOSFETs were fabricated by an n-well implantation in terms Of circuit performance, CMOS process with the trench isolation [9]. The n-w& asymetq/mismatch and punchthrough with a depth of 3.0 p,m and a peak concentration of CMOSFET.1.5~1016 cm-3 was formed in p-type silicon substrate of lxlOl5 cm-3. Shallow vertical trenches of 0.5 pm depth were formed in the substrate. For n-MOSFETs, boron ions were implanted into the trench sidewalls as a channel Of
