Abstract
A method is provided for fabricating an MOS transistor. The method includes providing a semiconductor substrate, and forming a gate structure having a gate dielectric layer and a gate metal layer on the semiconductor substrate. The method also includes forming offset sidewall spacers at both sides of the gate structure, and forming lightly doped regions in semiconductor substrate at both sides of the gate structure. Further, the method includes forming a first metal silicide region in each of the lightly doped regions, and forming main sidewall spacers at both sides of the gate structure. Further, the method includes forming heavily doped regions in semiconductor substrate at both sides of the gate structure and the main sidewall spacers, and forming a second metal silicide region in each of the heavily doped regions.
