An IGFET that minimizes the effect of the dislocation at the edge of the
device region by displacing the lateral edges of the source and drain
regions from the adjacent edge of the opening and the dislocation. This
minimizes the lateral diffusion of the source and drain impurities and
the formation of metal silicides into the dislocation region. The spacing
of the lateral edges of the source and drain regions from the adjacent
edge of the opening and the dislocation region is produced by providing
additional lateral opposed second gate regions or oxide barrier layer
extending from the oxide layer into the adjacent regions of the substrate
region and the first gate region extending therebetween. Both the first
gate region and the two second gate regions or barrier layer are used in
the self-aligned processing of the source and drain regions. The first
gate region defines the length of the channel, while the two opposed
second gate regions or barrier layer define the width of the channel
region. The second gate portion or barrier extends sufficiently into the
substrate region to space the width of the channel from the adjacent edge
of the opening in the oxide.
