Abstract
Abstract A MOSFET transistor device with a gate formed over a lightly doped semiconductor substrate with a gate, and a source region and a drain region. V T1 ions are uniformly implanted into the surface of the substrate forming a V T region with substantially uniform doping in the upper portion of the substrate near the surface thereof. A gate oxide layer is formed on the substrate. A gate conductor is deposited over the gate oxide layer. A large angle implant is implanted into the region of the device over the source region. Then ions are implanted to form the source and drain regions which are self-aligned with the gate.
