    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a gate structure for a transistor. The gate structure is formed on a substrate and includes a trench. There are sidewalls that line the trench. The sidewalls have a first dimension at a lower end of the trench and a second dimension at an upper end of the trench. The first dimension being larger than the second dimension, such that the sidewalls are tapered from a lower region to an upper region. A high k dielectric liner is formed on the sidewalls and a conductive liner is formed on the high k dielectric liner. A conductive material is in the trench and is adjacent to the conductive liner. The conductive material has a first dimension at the lower end of the trench that is smaller than a second dimension at the upper end of the trench.

    Abstract: A method for fabricating a dual silicide device includes growing source and drain (S/D) regions for an N-type device, forming a protection layer over a gate structure and the S/D regions of the N-type device and growing S/D regions for a P-type device. A first dielectric layer is conformally deposited and portions removed to expose the S/D regions. Exposed S/D regions for the P-type device are silicided to form a liner. A second dielectric layer is conformally deposited. A dielectric fill is formed over the second dielectric layer. Contact holes are opened through the second dielectric layer to expose the liner for the P-type device and expose the protection layer for the N-type device. The S/D regions for the N-type device are exposed by opening the protection layer. Exposed S/D regions adjacent to the gate structure are silicided to form a liner for the N-type device. Contacts are formed.

    Abstract: A gate structure straddling a plurality of semiconductor material portions is formed. Source regions and drain regions are formed in the plurality of semiconductor material portions, and a gate spacer laterally surrounding the gate structure is formed. Epitaxial active regions are formed from the source and drain regions by a selective epitaxy process. The assembly of the gate structure and the gate spacer is cut into multiple portions employing a cut mask and an etch to form multiple gate assemblies. Each gate assembly includes a gate structure portion and two disjoined gate spacer portions laterally spaced by the gate structure portion. Portions of the epitaxial active regions can be removed from around sidewalls of the gate spacers to prevent electrical shorts among the epitaxial active regions. A dielectric spacer or a dielectric liner may be employed to limit areas in which metal semiconductor alloys are formed.
