1. A method of forming an NMOS transistor comprising:
performing an LDD implantation to establish source/drain extension regions in a substrate on either side of a gate structure formed on the substrate, where the LDD implantation comprises:
implanting at least one of arsenic, phosphorous and antimony; and
implanting at least one of carbon, atomic fluorine and molecular fluorine (F2);
forming source/drain regions in the substrate on ether side of the gate structure, the source/drain regions being distanced from the gate structure further than the source/drain extension regions; and forming halo regions in the substrate on ether side of the gate structure, the source/drain regions being distanced from the gate structure further than the halo regions, forming the halo regions comprising:
implanting at least one of arsenic, phosphorous and antimony; and
implanting at least one of boron, indium and/or boron di-fluoride (BF2).
