Abstract: A high speed submicron metal-oxide-semiconductor transistor which exhibits a high immunity to hot electron degradation. An inverse T-gate comprising a polysilicon upper member and a tungsten lower member is formed on a p type substrate. A gate insulating layer is formed between the composite gate and the p type substrate. A pair on n- source/drain regions are formed apart in the p type substrate in alignment with the sides of the polysilicon upper member for forming a lightly doped drain region. An oxide sidewall spacer is formed adjacent to each side of the polysilicon upper member on the tungsten lower gate member for forming a mask for a n+ source/drain implant. The n+ source/drain implant is made in the n- source/drain regions in alignment with the oxide sidewall spacers for providing a source and a drain for the transistor. The tungsten lower gate member improves the transistors performance and makes the transistor viable for VLSI manufacturing techniques.

Abstract: A high speed submicron transistor which exhibits a high immunity to hot electron degradation and is viable for VLSI manufacturing. An inner gate member is formed on a p type substrate. A first source region and a first drain region are disposed in the p type substrate in alignment with the inner gate member for forming a lightly doped region. A conductive spacer is formed adjacent to and is coupled to each side of the inner gate member on the gate oxide layer for forming a gate member which overlaps the lightly doped region. A second source region and a second drain region are disposed in the first source region and first drain regions, respectively, self-aligned with the outer edges of the conductive spacers to form source and drain contact areas.
