Abstract
MOSFET having a fine gate structure comprises a semiconductor substrate of a first conductivity type, source and drain regions of a second conductivity type formed in the semiconductor substrate to define a channel region therebetween, a first insulating film provided over the source region, a second insulating film formed over the first insulating film to provide a side wall, a gate insulating film provided on the semiconductor substrate to cover the channel region, and a gate electrode provided over the gate insulating film to extend to the second insulating film and to cover the side wall. In the structure, the gate electrode is provided to have a thickness for defining an effective channel length at the side wall of the second insulating film.
