Abstract

A metal oxide semiconductor field transistor including a source region, a drain region, a gate and a gate dielectric layer is provided. The drain region is located in a substrate. The drain region has an elliptical spiral shape and a starting portion of the drain region is strip or water drop or has a curvature of 0.02 to 0.0025 [1/um]. The source region located in the substrate is around the drain region. The gate is located above the substrate and between the source region and the drain region. The gate dielectric layer is located between the gate and the substrate.
