摘要: A method of forming a semiconductor structure includes forming a first portion of a source/drain contact over a source/drain region of a fin-type field-effect transistor (FinFET), the source/drain region being formed over a fin providing a channel region of the FinFET and being adjacent a gate spacer surrounding a gate region of the FinFET. The method also includes forming a first interlayer dielectric (ILD) layer over the first portion of the source/drain contact, the gate spacer and the gate region, and forming a second ILD layer over the first ILD layer. The method further includes forming a second portion of the source/drain contact over the first portion of the source/drain contact in a first opening in the first ILD layer, and forming a third portion of the source/drain contact over the second portion of the source/drain contact in a second opening in the second ILD layer. The second opening is larger than the first opening.

摘要: A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes forming a plurality of interconnects spaced apart from each other on a substrate. The plurality of interconnects each have an upper portion and a lower portion. In the method, a plurality of spacers are formed on sides of the upper portions of the plurality of interconnects. A space is formed between adjacent spacers of the plurality of spacers on adjacent interconnects of the plurality of interconnects. The method also includes forming a dielectric layer on the plurality of spacers and on the plurality of interconnects. The dielectric layer fills in the space between the adjacent spacers of the plurality of spacers, which blocks formation of the dielectric layer in an area below the space. The area below the space is between lower portions of the adjacent interconnects.

摘要: An integrated circuit includes a first set of fins, a second set of fins, a gate, and a dielectric plug. The second set of fins is discrete from the first set of fins, and the gate passes over the first set of fins and the second set of fins. The dielectric plug is surrounded by the gate on two sides where the gate passes between the first set of fins and the second set of fins. Incorporation of aspects of the invention into integrated circuits with fin-based field effect transistors (FinFETs) helps to reduce parasitic capacitance between gate features and other nearby electrically conductive features.

摘要: A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes forming first and second interconnect structures on an etch stop layer, wherein the second interconnect structure is spaced apart from the first interconnect structure. The etch stop layer extends between the first and second interconnect structures. In the method, part of the etch stop layer between the first and second interconnect structures is removed. The removing forms a first portion of the etch stop layer extending from under the first interconnect structure toward the second interconnect structure, and a second portion of the etch stop layer extending from under the second interconnect structure toward the first interconnect structure. The first and second portions are spaced apart from each other. A dielectric layer is formed which fills in the spaces between the first and second portions of the etch stop layer and between the first and second interconnect structures.

摘要: Techniques are provided to fabricate semiconductor devices. For example, a method includes forming an interconnect structure having a base, a first conductive metal layer disposed on the base; and a first hardmask layer disposed on the first conductive metal layer. Metal lines are formed by subtractive etching. The metal lines have negative tapered sidewalk, and an opening is formed between adjacent metal lines. A first interlevel dielectric layer is deposited in the openings. A portion of the first interlevel dielectric layer is removed to form trench openings having positive tapered sidewalls. A dielectric layer is deposited in one of the openings. A liner layer and a second conducting metal layer are deposited in the other trench openings. The liner layer and the second conductive metal layer are recessed. A second hardmask layer is deposited on a top surface of the liner layer and the second conductive metal layer.
