Semiconductor device comprising contact structures with protection layers formed on sidewalls of contact etch stop layers
Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes a silicide contact region positioned at least partially in a semiconductor layer, an etch stop layer positioned above the semiconductor layer, and a dielectric layer positioned above the etch stop layer. A contact structure that includes a conductive contact material extends through at least a portion of the dielectric layer and through an entirety of the etch stop layer to the silicide contact region, and a silicide protection layer is positioned between sidewalls of the etch stop layer and sidewalls of the contact structure.
