Abstract
A metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) includes a substrate, a source and a drain in the substrate, a gate electrode disposed over the substrate between the source and drain, and a gate dielectric layer disposed between the substrate and the gate electrode. At least a portion of the gate dielectric layer is extended beyond the gate electrode toward at least one of the source or the drain.
