Also, by forming the second conductivity type diffusion layer 7A on the sides of the gate electrode 5 through the medium of the thin insulating film 6 to be above the low concentration diffusion layer 3 and further contacting the low concentration diffusion layer 3, the high electrical field within the low concentration diffusion layer 3 is sufficiently ameliorated, generation of hot carriers is suppressed, and resistance to degradation is improved. Moreover, by controlling the high resistance second conductivity typetype diffusion layer 7 A at the sides of the gate electrode 5, the source resistance is decreased and driving capabilities are improved. At the same time the contact region of the source-drain electrode is miniaturized.

    摘要: Structures and methods of manufacture are described for a MOS FET that is suitable for extreme miniaturization, of a type in which lightly doped drain and source diffusion regions are formed respectively adjoining the conventional highly doped drain and source diffusion regions in the semiconductor substrate surface, for reducing electric field concentration in the drain region. The underside of the gate electrode of the FET is formed with a downwardly protruding convex shape, so that a thick region of gate insulation film is positioned between the drain diffusion regions and the most closely adjacent part of the gate electrode, whereby gate-to-drain stray capacitance and the vertical component of electric field within the lightly doped drain diffusion region are reduced. The underside of the gate electrode can be formed in the required shape by various methods which effectively utilize self alignment and are easily adapted to currently used types of LSI manufacturing process.
