ABSTRACT:
The method produces transistor structures with a smaller contact opening, without having to take multiple adjustment allowances into account. Moreover, the method provides two zones of a second conductivity type, which have different dopant concentrations, so that a more gentle transition in the drain doping is obtained. The gentler transition in drain doping effects a lowering in the peak field intensity that can release hot electrons. Thus a degradation of the first insulating layer (gate oxide) caused by hot electrons is prevented.
