Abstract
A transistor device 10 formed in a semiconductor layer 12 is disclosed herein. A first source/drain region 14 is formed in the semiconductor layer 12. A second source/drain region 16 is also formed in the semiconductor layer 12 and is spaced from the first source/drain region 14 by a channel region 18. The second source/drain region 16 includes (1) a lightly doped portion 16b adjacent the channel region 18 and abutting the top surface, (2) a main portion 16a abutting the top surface and spaced from the channel region 18 by the lightly doped portion 16b, and (3) a deep portion 16c formed within the layer 12 and spaced from the top surface by the lightly doped portion 16b and the main portion 16a. A gate electrode 20 is formed over at least a portion of the channel region 18 and insulated therefrom.
