Field effect transistors and methods for fabricating the same

摘要

Field effect transistors and methods for fabricating field effect transistors are provided. A method, in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the invention, comprises forming a polycrystalline silicon gate electrode overlying a silicon substrate. The gate electrode has two parallel sidewalls. Two sidewall spacers are fabricated overlying the silicon substrate. Each of the two sidewall spacers has a sidewall that is adjacent to one of the two parallel sidewalls of the gate electrode. A portion of the gate electrode between the two sidewall spacers is removed.
