Abstract

A method of forming a semiconductor device that embeds an L-shaped spacer is provided. The method includes defining an L-shaped spacer on each side of a gate region of a substrate and embedding the L-shaped spacers in an oxide layer so that the oxide layer extends over a portion of the substrate a predetermined distance from a lateral edge of the L-shaped spacer. And removing oxide layers to expose the L-shape spacers.
