Abstract:
A tunable breakdown voltage RF MESFET and/or MOSFET and methods of manufacture are disclosed. The method includes forming a first line and a second line on an underlying gate dielectric material. The second line has a width tuned to a breakdown voltage. The method further includes forming sidewall spacers on sidewalls of the first and second line such that the space between first and second line is pinched-off by the dielectric spacers. The method further includes forming source and drain regions adjacent outer edges of the first line and the second line, and removing at least the second line to form an opening between the sidewall spacers of the second line and to expose the underlying gate dielectric material. The method further includes depositing a layer of material on the underlying gate dielectric material within the opening, and forming contacts to a gate structure and the source and drain regions.

Claim (Index 1):
A structure comprising:\n a gate dielectric material on a substrate; first, second and third silicide regions directly on the substrate and abutting the gate dielectric material, the first silicide region and the second silicide region each have a sidewall; a first sidewall spacer and a second sidewall spacer both on the gate dielectric material, the first sidewall spacer and the second sidewall spacer each comprising a side surface, with the side surface of the first silicide region being vertically aligned with the side surface of the first sidewall spacer, and the side surface of the second silicide region being vertically aligned with the side surface of the second sidewall spacer; a source region adjacent to the first silicide region; a drain region adjacent to the second silicide region and spaced apart from the source region; and contacts to the first silicide region, the second silicide region, the third silicide region, and the source and drain regions.
