Abstract
A low power transistor (70, 70') formed in a face of a semiconductor layer (86) of a first conductivity type. The transistor includes a source and drain regions (76, 78) of a second conductivity type formed in the face of the semiconductor layer, and a gate (72) insulatively disposed adjacent the face of the semiconductor layer and between the source and drain regions. A layer of counter doping (80, 80') of the second conductivity type is formed adjacent to the face of the semiconductor layer generally between the source and drain regions. A first and second pockets (82, 84, 82', 84') of the first conductivity type may also be formed generally adjacent to the source and drain regions and the counter doped layer (80, 80').
