Methods for fabricating integrated circuits having gate to active and gate to gate interconnects
摘要:
Methods are provided for fabricating an integrated circuit that includes gate to active contacts. One method includes processing the IC in a replacement gate technology including forming dummy gates, sidewall spacers on the dummy gates, and metal silicide contacts to active areas. A fill layer is deposited and planarized to expose the dummy gates and the dummy gates are removed. A mask is formed having an opening overlying a portion of the channel region from which the dummy gate was removed and a portion of an adjacent metal silicide contact. The fill layer and a portion of the sidewall spacers exposed through the mask opening are etched to expose a portion of the adjacent metal silicide contact. A gate electrode material is deposited overlying the channel region and exposed metal silicide contact and is planarized to form a gate electrode and a gate-to-metal silicide contact interconnect.
