          Application No. 09/144,535                                                  


               32.   A semiconductor device made by a method                          
               comprising:                                                            
                    forming a gate structure on a semiconductor layer                 
               that is disposed on a semiconductor substrate, the gate                
               structure exposing a portion of the layer to form an                   
               opening;                                                               
                    implanting a first dopant of a first conductivity                 
               and a second dopant of a second conductivity through                   
               the opening into the exposed portion of the                            
               semiconductor layer, such that regions implanted with                  
               the first and second dopants are self-aligned to the                   
               opening;                                                               
                    after implanting the first and second dopants,                    
               recessing the exposed portion of the semiconductor                     
               layer, wherein the recessed exposed portion is                         
               self-aligned to the opening;                                           
                    driving the first dopant deeper into the                          
               semiconductor layer after recessing the exposed                        
               portion;                                                               
                    driving the first dopant deeper into the                          
               semiconductor layer than a bottom of the recessed                      
               exposed portion such that the first dopant is                          
               self-aligned to the exposed portion such that the first                
               dopant is self-aligned to the sidewall of the recess at                
               its inner perimeter and present at the bottom corners                  
               of the recess;                                                         
                    after recessing the exposed portion, forming a                    
               Schottky contact on a bottom of the exposed portion;                   
               and                                                                    
                    forming a source metallization on the Schottky                    
               contact and a sidewall of the exposed portion.
