Abstract

A method of forming a gate of a planar metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) reduces gate-drain capacitance. The method may include forming a first gate dielectric portion of the planar MOSFET with a first thickness that is configured to reduce the gate-drain capacitance of the planar MOSFET, forming a second gate dielectric portion of the planar MOSFET on the substrate with a second thickness less than the first thickness, and forming the gate of the planar MOSFET on the first gate dielectric portion and the second gate dielectric portion on the substrate.
