Abstract:
Semiconductor devices and methods of forming are described herein. The methods include depositing a dummy gate material layer over a fin etched into a substrate. A gate mask is then formed over the dummy gate material layer in a channel region of the fin. A dummy gate electrode is etched into the dummy gate material using the gate mask. A top spacer is then deposited over the gate mask and along sidewalls of a top portion of the dummy gate electrode. An opening is then etched through the remainder of the dummy gate material and through the fin. A bottom spacer is then formed along a sidewall of the opening and separates a bottom portion of the dummy gate electrode from the opening. A source/drain region is then formed in the opening and the dummy gate electrode is replaced with a metal gate stack.
