Abstract:
In some embodiments, a semiconductor device is provided. The semiconductor device includes a pair of source/drain regions disposed in a semiconductor substrate, where the source/drain regions are laterally spaced. A gate electrode is disposed over the semiconductor substrate between the source/drain regions. Sidewall spacers are disposed over the semiconductor substrate on opposite sides of the gate electrode. A silicide blocking structure is disposed over the sidewalls spacers, where respective sides of the source/drain regions facing the gate electrode are spaced apart from outer sides of the sidewall spacers and are substantially aligned with outer sidewalls of the silicide blocking structure.

Claim (Index 13):
The semiconductor device of  claim 8 , further comprising:\n a second sidewall spacer disposed over the semiconductor substrate on a second side of the gate electrode opposite the first side of the gate electrode; a second silicide blocking structure disposed over the second sidewall spacer, wherein the second silicide blocking structure extends vertically from the semiconductor substrate along an outer side of the second sidewall spacer, and wherein the second silicide blocking structure extends laterally over the semiconductor substrate by a second non-zero distance; and a third silicide structure disposed over the second source/drain region, wherein the second silicide blocking structure separates the third silicide structure from the second sidewall spacer by the second non-zero distance.
