Abstract

A method of manufacturing a CMOS transistor can be provided by forming first and second gate electrodes on a substrate and forming a gate insulation layer on the first and second gate electrodes. A semiconductor channel material having a first conductivity type can be formed on the gate insulation layer. A pair of ohmic contacts can be formed on the semiconductor channel material such that the ohmic contacts cross over both side portions of the first gate electrode, respectively. A pair of Schottky contacts can be formed on the semiconductor channel material such that the Schottky contacts cross over both side portions of the second gate electrode, respectively.
