Abstract

A raised source/drain transistor is provided having thin sidewall spacing insulators (54) adjacent the transistor gate (48). A first sidewall spacer (64) is disposed adjacent thin sidewall spacing insulator (54) and raised source/drain region (60). A second sidewall spacer (66) is formed at the interface between field insulating region (44) and raised source/drain region (60).
