Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention provides a MOS transistor, including a substrate, a gate oxide, a gate, a source/drain region and a silicide layer. The gate oxide is disposed on the substrate and the gate is disposed on the gate oxide. The source/drain region is disposed in the substrate at two sides of the gate. The silicide layer is disposed on the source/drain region, wherein the silicide layer includes a curved bottom surface. The present invention further provides a manufacturing method of the MOS transistor.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A MOS transistor, comprising: a substrate; a gate dielectric layer disposed on the substrate; a gate disposed on the gate dielectric layer; a source/drain region disposed in the substrate at two sides of the gate, wherein the source/drain region has a part higher than a top surface of the substrate; and a silicide layer disposed on the part of the source/drain region which is higher than the top surface of the substrate, wherein the silicide layer co…
