Abstract

This invention relates to a MIS transistor and its manufacturing process. The process comprises the following steps:a) production of a dummy grid on a substrate, made of a material capable of resisting heat treatment,b) formation of self-aligned source and drain regions on the dummy grid, in the substrate,c) lateral coating of the dummy grid with an electrically insulating layer,d) elimination of the dummy grid and formation of a final grid made of a material with low resistivity, in the same position as the dummy grid.Application to the manufacture of hyper-frequency circuits.
