    Abstract: The disclosure is related to MV transistors with reduced gate induced drain leakage (GIDL) and impact ionization. The reduced GILD and impact ionization are achieved without increasing device pitch of the MV transistor. A low voltage (LV) device region and a medium voltage (MV) device region are disposed on the substrate. Non-extended spacers are disposed on the sidewalls of the LV gate in the LV device region; extended L shaped spacers are disposed on the sidewalls of the MV gate in the MV device region. The non-extended spacers and extended L shape spacers are patterned simultaneously. Extended L shaped spacers displace the MV heavily doped (HD) regions a greater distance from at least one sidewall of the MV gate to reduce the GIDL and impact ionization of the MV transistor.
