Abstract

The present invention relates to a method of forming a double diffused metal-oxide-semiconductor (DMOS) transistor which enables the formation of short channels. This method uses silicon nitride sidewall spacers so that the sidewall spacers can be removed without etching the field oxide, therefore the length of the channel can be minimized to reduce the channel resistance.
