Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a body region having a source region, a drain region, a channel region interposed between the source region and the drain region, and a body region extension extending from an end of the channel region. A gate pattern is formed on the channel region and the body region, and a body contact connects the gate pattern to the body region. A sidewall of the body region extension is self-aligned to a sidewall of the gate pattern. Methods of forming semiconductor devices having a self-aligned body and a body contact are also disclosed.
