SPACER STRUCTURE AS TRANSISTOR GATE

摘要

A semiconductor process in which a spacer support stucture is then formed on an upper surface of a semiconductor substrate. The semiconductor substrate includes a channel region that is laterally displaced between first and second source/drain regions. The spacer support structure includes a substantially vertical sidewall that is laterally aligned over a boundary between the first source/drain region and the channel region of the semiconductor substrate. A gate dielectric is then grown and a transistor gate fabricated by forming a first spacer structure on the sidewall of the spacer support structure. The first spacer structure includes a substantially vertical first sidewall in contact with the spacer support structure sidewall and further includes a second sidewall that is laterally aligned over a boundary between the channel region and the second source/drain region of the semiconductor substrate. The spacer support structure is then removed and source/drain impurity distributions are introduced into the source/drain regions of the semiconductor substrate.
