    摘要: Disclosed herein are colored gratings in microelectronic structures. For example, a microelectronic structure may include first conductive structures alternating with second conductive structures, wherein individual ones of the first conductive structures include a bottom portion and a top portion, individual cap structures are on individual ones of the second conductive structures, the bottom portions of the first conductive structures are laterally spaced apart from and aligned with the second conductive structures, and the top portions of the first conductive structures are laterally spaced apart from and aligned with the cap structures. In some embodiments, a microelectronic structure may include one or more unordered lamellar regions laterally spaced apart from and aligned with the first conductive structures.

    摘要: Contact over active gate structure with metal oxide layers are described are described. In an example, an integrated circuit structure includes a plurality of gate structures above substrate, each of the gate structures including a gate insulating layer thereon. A plurality of conductive trench contact structures is alternating with the plurality of gate structures. A portion of one of the plurality of trench contact structures has a metal oxide layer thereon. An interlayer dielectric material is over the plurality of gate structures and over the plurality of conductive trench contact structures. An opening is in the interlayer dielectric material and in a gate insulating layer of a corresponding one of the plurality of gate structures. A conductive via is in the opening, the conductive via in direct contact with the corresponding one of the plurality of gate structures, and the conductive via on the metal oxide layer.
