SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR A FIELD-EFFECT TRANSISTOR WITH A RAISED DRAIN STRUCTURE

摘要

A method for forming a field-effect transistor with a raised drain structure is disclosed. The method includes forming a frustoconical source by etching a semiconductor substrate, the frustoconical source protruding above a planar surface of the semiconductor substrate; forming a transistor gate, a first portion of the transistor gate surrounding a portion of the frustoconical source and a second portion of the gate configured to couple to a first electrical contact; and forming a drain having a raised portion configured to couple to a second electrical contact and located at a same level above the planar surface of the semiconductor substrate as the second portion of the transistor gate. A semiconductor device having a raised drain structure is also disclosed.
