A transistor fabricated on a semiconductor substrate includes a source and a drain in the substrate; a gate on the substrate, the gate being insulated from the substrate by gate dielectric; barrier layers covering two sides of the gate and the gate dielectric; spacers of high-k material covering the barrier layers; and nitride spacers covering the spacers of high-k material. The spacers of high-k material significantly increase the node capacitance of the transistor and therefore reduce the transistor's soft error rate.
