Abstract

Abstract A method of making a MOSFET with a LDD structure capable of minimizing the junction capacitance and the number of manufacturing process. The method comprises the steps of forming a field oxide on a P type substrate, forming a gate oxide on the active region, forming sidewall spacers with a nitride film at side surfaces of the gate, implanting a high concentration impurity of N + type self-aligning with the spacers as a mask to form high concentration source/drain regions of N + type, removing the sidewall spacers, forming a thick oxide film on the active region between the field oxide and the gate, implanting a low concentration impurity of N - type and a low concentration impurity of P - type by self-aligning with the thick oxide as a mask to form low concentration source/drain regions of N - type coming into contact with high concentration source/drain regions of N + type and to form low concentration impurity regions of P - type enclosing the low concentration source/drain regions of N - type.
