<p>A transistor formed on a substrate 201 comprises a gate electrode 207 having a lateral extension at the foot of the gate electrode that is less than the average lateral extension of the gate electrode 207. The increased cross-section of the gate electrode 207 compared to the rectangular cross-sectional shape of a prior art device provides for a significantly reduced gate resistance while the effective gate length, i.e., the lateral extension of the gate electrode at its foot, may be scaled down to a size of 100 nm and beyond. Moreover, a method for forming the field effect transistor described above is disclosed.</p> |
