Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor transistor having a gate, a source, a drain, and a recombination region located in closer proximity to the drain in comparison to the source, comprising the steps of:providing a semiconductor layer in which the source, drain and recombination region are to be formed; forming a gate insulating layer on the semiconductor layer; forming a gate electrode on the gate insulating layer, the gate electrode having a split positioned in closer proximity to a first edge of the gate electrode in comparison to a second edge of the gate electrode opposite to said first edge; and using the gate electrode as a mask in the doping of a portion of the semiconductor layer to provide the recombination region at a position between the source and the drain in closer proximity to the drain in comparison to the source of the final transistor, thereby to reduce the kink effect of the final transistor.
