ABSTRACT:
A gate structure (30) is formed over a semiconductor (10). Sidewall structures (200) of a first width W1are formed adjacent to the gate structure (30) and source and drain regions (90) are formed in the semiconductor (10). An etch process is performed to reduce the width of the sidewall structure to W2and silicide regions (110) are then formed adjacent to the sidewall structures (205).
