Abstract
A method for forming a MOS transistor is provided. A gate oxide layer, a polysilicon layer, a barrier layer and a conductive layer are sequentially formed on a provided substrate. A photolithography and etching process is carried out to remove a portion of the conductive layer and a portion of the barrier layer until exposing the polysilicon layer. An ion implantation is performed to form lightly doped regions in the substrate using the remaining conductive layer and the remaining barrier layer as a mask. A spacer is formed on the side-wall of the conductive layer and on the side-wall of the barrier layer. The polysilicon layer and the gate oxide layer, which are in positions other than those of the remaining conductive layer and the spacer, are removed. The remaining conductive layer and the remaining polysilicon layer constitute a gate with an inversed, T-shaped cross-section. Source/drain regions comprising the lightly doped regions are formed in the substrate by ion implantation using the gate structure as a mask.
