    摘要: A field effect transistor having a higher breakdown voltage can be provided by forming a contiguous dielectric material layer (60) over gate stacks (50; 52; 58), forming via cavities (169) laterally spaced from the gate stacks (50; 52; 58), selectively depositing a single crystalline semiconductor material, and converting upper portions of the deposited single crystalline semiconductor material into elevated source/drain regions (136S; 136D). Lower portions of the selectively deposited single crystalline semiconductor material in the via cavities (169) can have a doping of a lesser concentration, thereby effectively increasing the distance between two steep junctions at edges of a source region (136S) and a drain region (136D). Optionally, embedded active regions (232S; 232D) for additional devices can be formed prior to formation of the contiguous dielectric material layer (60). Raised active regions (236S; 236D) contacting a top surface of a substrate (10) can be formed simultaneously with formation of the elevated active regions (136S; 136D) that are vertically spaced from the top surface.
