A METHOD OF FORMING A SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE USING A MASK

摘要

A semiconductor device, particularly an ultra-short gate MOSFET, is formed by depositing a mask (6) at a low angle with respect to a planar surface and then performing an angular conductivity conversion operation, such as ion implantation, so that the converted region extends (9) partially under the mask. The mask is then removed and a gate electrode (12) is deposited in its place, the gate being smaller than the channel length (11) from the source (7) to the point (9) where the conversion extended under the mask.
Straggle location change is accommodated by arranging that the mask has a dimension along a line parallel to the planar surface which is greater than the desired channel length.
