          illustrative:                                                               


               1.  A method for fabricating an integrated circuit,                    
          comprising:                                                                 
               providing an opening to an active region of a                          
          semiconductor substrate upper surface;                                      
               constructing a conductive gate across a portion of said                
          active region; and                                                          
               implanting only indium ions through said opening into                  
          said active region, wherein said implanting forms p-type                    
          source and drain regions within said active region                          
          simultaneously with indium within said conductive gate.                     
               11.  A method for reducing diffusion of p-type dopant                  
          from a patterned semiconductor gate conductor to an underlying              
          channel region, the method comprising:                                      
               providing a semiconductor n-type substrate and a first                 
          layer of dielectric material across an upper surface of the                 
          substrate;                                                                  
               providing a conductive material across the dielectric                  
          material;                                                                   
               selectively removing a portion of the conductive material              
          and underlying dielectric material to present a source region,              
          a drain region and a patterned conductive gate having an                    
          exposed upper surface and a lower surface adjacent the                      
          dielectric material, said source and drain regions are spaced               
          apart within said substrate by a channel region underlying the              
          patterned conductive gate;

          exposed surface to a concentration peak density at a first                  
          depth relative to the upper surface of said conductive gate,                
          wherein said implanting indium step further comprises
