Abstract

A semiconductor device having a substrate, a gate electrode, a source and a drain, and a buried gate dielectric layer is disclosed. The buried gate dielectric layer is disposed below said gate electrode and protrudes therefrom to said drain, thereby separating said gate electrode and said drain by a substantial distance to reduce gate induced drain leakage.
