    Abstract: Trench contact structures with airgap spacers, and methods of fabricating trench contact structures with airgap spacers, are described. In an example, an integrated circuit structure includes a fin structure or a nanowire structure. An epitaxial source or drain structure is on the fin structure or the nanowire structure. A gate structure is over the fin structure or around the nanowire structure. A trench contact structure is laterally spaced apart from the gate structure and coupled to the epitaxial source or drain structure. A trench contact spacer is adjacent to sidewalls of the trench contact structure, the trench contact spacer including an outer spacer portion, an airgap, and an inner spacer portion.
