Abstract
In fabricating metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs), the implanting of lightly doped drain regions is performed before forming gate regions with a physical gate length that is associated with a reference channel length. The step of implanting lightly doped drain regions includes forming an implantation mask defining the lightly doped drain regions and an effective channel length of each MOSFET. The forming of the implantation mask is configured to define an effective channel length of at least one MOSFET that is different from the respective reference channel length.
