Patent ID: 8624315

Claim:
A semiconductor structure comprising: a body comprising a semiconductor material, the body having a doping of a first conductivity type, and the body located in a semiconductor substrate; a source region having a doping of a second conductivity type, the source region contacting said body, and the source region located in said semiconductor substrate, wherein said second conductivity type is an opposite of said first conductivity type; a drain region having a doping of said second conductivity type, the drain region contacting said body, wherein the drain region is disjoined from said source region, and the drain region is located in said semiconductor substrate; a source side gate electrode containing a first gate dielectric and a first gate conductor, wherein said first gate dielectric vertically abuts said body, and wherein said first gate conductor abuts said first gate dielectric; a drain side gate electrode contacting said source side gate electrode and containing a second gate dielectric and a second gate conductor, wherein said second gate dielectric vertically abuts said body, and wherein said second gate conductor abuts said second gate dielectric; and a single metal semiconductor alloy structure that contacts both of the source side gate electrode and the drain side gate electrode, wherein a top portion of said second gate dielectric is embedded within a portion of the single metal semiconductor alloy structure.
