Abstract
Abstract A P channel MIS type semiconductor device have P type source and drain regions formed in a N type semiconductor substrate. Each source and drain regions are constructed the low and high impurity concentration layers. Channel side edges of the low concentration impurity layers arranged inside of the high concentration impurity layers. These double layer source and drain structure prevent the off set gate construction and the parasitic resistance.
