  • Patent number: 9716171
    Abstract: A semiconductor device and a method of manufacturing the semiconductor device includes forming a first and a second gate electrode on a semiconductor substrate, forming a first and a second insulator on the first and second gate electrodes, forming a third insulator on the second insulator, a first thickness of the third insulator on the first gate electrode being different than a second thickness of the third insulator on the second gate electrode, and etching-back the first, second and third insulators to form a first spacer beside the first gate electrode and a second spacer beside the second gate electrode. Herein, a horizontal length of the first spacer being contacted with a surface of the semiconductor substrate is different from a horizontal length of the second spacer being contacted with a surface of the semiconductor substrate.
    Type: Grant
