| 20080303103 | SEMICONDUCTOR STRUCTURE AND METHOD OF FORMING THE SAME - The present invention provides a semiconductor structure and a method of forming the same. The method includes the steps of providing a substrate, forming a mask layer with an opening on the substrate, locally oxidizing the substrate to form an oxide layer within the opening, removing the oxide layer, such that a partial surface of the substrate becomes a curve surface, forming a sacrificial layer on the curve surface, forming a first doped region in the substrate and under the hard mask layer, forming a gate stack within the opening, removing the hard mask layer, forming a spacer on a sidewall of the gate stack, and forming a second doped region in the substrate and under the spacer. The second doped region has a dopant concentration is larger than that of the first doped region. Therefore, the oxide layer increases the surface area of the substrate so as to increase the channel length. Thus, the leakage between the source region and the drain region can be improved. | 12-11-2008 |
