Abstract
A HIGFET (10) utilizes an etch stop layer (17) to form a gate insulator (16) to be narrower than the gate electrode (21). This T-shaped gate structure facilitates forming source (23) and drain (24) regions that are separated from the gate insulator (16) by a distance (22) in order to reduce leakage current and increase the breakdown voltage.
