Abstract
A totally self-aligned transistor with shallow trench isolation. A single mask is used to align the source, drain, gate and isolation areas. Overlay error is greatly reduced by the use of a single mask for these regions. Channel dopant deposited in the gate area is also self-aligned to the gate of the transistor.
