Abstract: A method of fabricating a MOS device is disclosed. A substrate having an active area (AA) silicon portion and shallow trench isolation (STI) region surrounding the active area is provided. A hard mask is formed on the substrate. A portion of the hard mask is removed to form an opening on the AA silicon portion. The opening exposes an edge of the STI region. The AA silicon portion is recessed through the opening to a predetermined depth to form a silicon spacer along a sidewall of the STI region in a self-aligned manner. An oxidation process is performed to oxidize the AA silicon portion and the silicon spacer to form a gate oxide layer.

Abstract: A method of forming a gate layout includes providing a gate layout design diagram comprising at least one gate pattern, disposing at least one insulating plug pattern in the gate pattern for producing a modified gate layout in a case where any one of a length and a width of the gate pattern is greater than or equal to a predetermined size, and outputting and manufacturing the modified gate layout onto a photomask.
