    Abstract: A field effect transistor includes a semiconductor substrate, source and drain regions, lower source and drain contacts, a metal gate, a first interlayer dielectric layer, a capping layer, and an etch stop layer. The source and drain regions are disposed on the semiconductor substrate. The lower source and drain contacts are disposed on the source and drain regions. The metal gate is disposed in between the lower source and drain contacts. The first interlayer dielectric layer encircles the metal gate and the lower source and drain contacts. The capping layer is disposed on the metal gate. The etch stop layer extends on the first interlayer dielectric layer. An etching selectivity for the etch stop layer over the capping layer is greater than 10.

    Abstract: Gate structures and gate spacers, along with methods of forming such, are described. In an embodiment, a structure includes an active area on a substrate, a gate structure on the active area and over the substrate, and a low-k gate spacer on the active area and along a sidewall of the gate structure. The gate structure includes a conformal gate dielectric on the active area and includes a gate electrode over the conformal gate dielectric. The conformal gate dielectric extends vertically along a first sidewall of the low-k gate spacer. In some embodiments, the low-k gate spacer can be formed using a selective deposition process after a dummy gate structure has been removed in a replacement gate process.
