Abstract
A self-aligned MOS transistor is described in which the gate-drain underdiffusion length is substantially greater than the gate-source underdiffusion length, resulting in a relatively high gate-drain capacitance. This is accomplished by driving in the drain dopants to have a greater diffusion depth and underdiffusion length than that of the source dopants. The increased gate-drain capacitance obviates the need to provide a separate gate-drain capacitor where increased gate-drain capacitance is desired.
