Abstract
A semiconductor device with reduced leakage current is obtained by forming a non-uniform channel doping profile. A high impurity region of the opposite conductive type of a source region is formed between the channel region and source region by transient enhanced diffusion (TED). The high impurity region substantially reduces the threshold voltage rolling off problem.
