Insulated gate field effect transistors (10, 70) having process steps for setting the VT and a device leakage current which are decoupled from the process steps for providing punchthrough protection, thereby lowering a subthreshold swing. In a unilateral transistor (10), a portion (37, 45) of a dopant layer (25, 30) between a source region (48, 51) and a drain region (49, 52) serves as a channel region and sets the VT and the device leakage current. A halo region (34, 39) contains the source region (48, 51) and sets the punchthrough voltage. In a bilateral transistor (70), both a source region (83, 86) and a drain region (84, 87) are contained within halo regions (75, 74, 79, 81). A portion (76, 82) of a dopant layer (25, 30) sets the VT and a leakage current, whereas the halo region (75, 79) sets the punchthrough voltage. <IMAGE>
