Abstract

A disclosed semiconductor device includes multiple gate electrodes disposed on a semiconductor substrate; and multiple sidewall spacers disposed on sidewalls of the gate electrodes. The thickness of the sidewall spacers is larger on the sidewalls along longer sides of the gate electrodes than on the sidewalls along shorter sides of the gate electrodes.

Claims (7)

1. A semiconductor device comprising:

a plurality of gate electrodes disposed over a semiconductor substrate; and

a plurality of sidewall spacers disposed on sidewalls of the gate electrodes;

wherein each of the sidewall spacers disposed along a first side parallel to a gate length direction of one of the gate electrodes has a first thickness, and each of the sidewall spacers disposed along a second side parallel to a gate width direction of said one of the gate electrodes has a second thickness which is greater than the first thickness.

2. The semiconductor device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each of the sidewall spacers disposed along the second side of said one of the gate electrodes is continuous.

3. The semiconductor device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first thickness is between 5 nm and 20 nm.

4. The semiconductor device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second thickness is between 30 nm and 80 nm.
