Abstract

In accordance with an embodiment of the invention, there is an integrated circuit device having a complementary integrated circuit structure comprising a first MOS device. The first MOS device comprises a source doped to a first conductivity type, a drain extension doped to the first conductivity type separated from the source by a gate, and an extension region doped to a second conductivity type underlying at least a portion of the drain extension adjacent to the gate. The integrated circuit structure also comprises a second complementary MOS device comprising a dual drain extension structure.
