    摘要: A method for forming a doped zone of a transistor includes providing a stack having at least one active layer made from a semiconductor material, and a transistor gate pattern having at least one lateral side, and modifying a portion of the active layer so as to form a modified portion made of a modified semiconductor material. The modified portion extends down to the at least one lateral side of the gate pattern, at the edge of a non-modified portion above which the gate pattern is located. The method also includes forming a spacer on the lateral side, removing the modified portion by selective etching of the modified semiconductor material with respect to the semiconductor material of the non-modified portion, so as to expose an edge of the non-modified portion, and forming the doped zone by epitaxy starting from the exposed edge.
