Abstract

This invention discloses a structure for a pseudo-active region of a MOS transistor, comprising multiple pseudo-active regions isolated by field oxides around the active region. Each pseudo-active region is strip-shaped, with its length parallel to that of the active region. The length of the pseudo-active region is less than that of the active region. Multiple pseudo-active region array blocks are arranged along the length of the active region. Along the width of the active region, the pseudo-active region array blocks are formed by alternating multiple pseudo-active regions and field oxides located between the pseudo-active regions. The multiple field oxides in the pseudo-active region array blocks prevent leakage paths formed through the pseudo-active regions from appearing around the active region, thereby reducing the leakage current of the MOS transistor. This invention also discloses a method for manufacturing the pseudo-active region of a MOS transistor. This invention prevents the pseudo-active regions themselves from forming leakage paths, thereby reducing the leakage current between MOS transistors in adjacent active regions.
