Abstract

A method for making an asymmetric MOS device having a notched gate oxide wherein a region of the gate oxide adjacent to either the source or drain is thinner than the remainder of the gate oxide. The resulting MOS device includes a channel under the notched region of the gate oxide with a relatively high concentration of mobile charge carriers.
