Subquarter-mícrometre elevated source-and-drain MOSFET structure using polysilicon spacers

Journal Article (Journal Article)

A novel subquarter-micrometre MOSFET with a selfaligned source and drain, structure is proposed with elevated sources and drains formed by using polysilicon spacers. The spacers can reduce the effective channel length by 50% compared to the mask length, and reduce the junction capacitance by over 30% through a reduction in junction area, as shown by PISCES simulations. A graded oxide spacer is used to decrease the parasitic gate-to-drain capacitance. © 1994, IEE. All rights reserved.
