Abstract

A method includes forming a gate structure over a substrate; forming a first gate spacer and a second gate spacer on opposite sidewalls of the gate structure, respectively; implanting a first dopant of a first conductivity type into the substrate form a lightly doped source region adjacent to the first gate spacer, and a lightly doped drain region adjacent to the second gate spacer; forming a patterned mask over a first portion of the lightly doped drain region, while leaving a second portion of the lightly doped drain region exposed; and with the patterned mask in place, implanting a second dopant of the first conductivity type into the substrate, resulting in converting the second portion of the lightly doped drain region into a drain region.
