Abstract

The invention provides an n-channel MOS field effect transistor with an improved anti-radioactivity. Such transistor includes a p-type silicon substrate. An isolation oxide film is selectively formed on a surface of the p-type silicon substrate. Source and drain diffusion layers of n+-type are formed on first opposite sides of a channel region in the p-type silicon substrate. A gate made of polycrystalline silicon is formed over the channel region through a gate oxide film. Leak guard diffusion layers of p-type are formed on second opposite sides of the channel region in the p-type silicon substrate. The p-type leak guard diffusion layer has a junction surface to the isolation oxide film. The junction surface of the p-type leak guard diffusion layer and the isolation oxide film exists up to a level which is deeper than a depth of the n+-type source and drain diffusion layers.
