Abstract: A method includes providing a structure having transistors, an isolation structure over the transistors, metal plugs through the isolation structure and connecting to the transistors, and a trench with the isolation structure and the metal plugs as sidewalls. The method further includes forming a dielectric liner on the sidewalls of the trench and over the isolation structure and the metal plugs. The dielectric liner is thicker at an opening portion of the trench than at another portion of the trench so that an air gap is formed inside the trench and the air gap is surrounded by the dielectric liner. The method further includes depositing a sacrificial layer over the dielectric liner and over the air gap and performing CMP to remove the sacrificial layer and to recess the dielectric liner until the isolation structure and the metal plugs are exposed. The air gap remains inside the trench.

Abstract: A method includes providing first and second channel layers in a p-type region and an n-type region respectively, forming a gate dielectric layer around the first and second channel layers, and forming a sacrificial layer around the gate dielectric layer. The sacrificial layer merges in space between the first channel layers and between the second channel layers. The method further includes etching the sacrificial layer such that only portions of the sacrificial layer in the space between the first channel layers and between the second channel layers remain, forming a mask covering the p-type region and exposing the n-type region, removing the sacrificial layer from the n-type region, removing the mask, and forming an n-type work function metal layer around the gate dielectric layer in the n-type region and over the gate dielectric layer and the sacrificial layer in the p-type region.

Abstract: In some embodiments, the present disclosure relates to an integrated chip that includes a substrate, a first contact layer, and a gate electrode. The first contact layer overlies the substrate and the gate electrode overlies the substrate and is laterally spaced from the first contact layer. A first spacer structure surrounds outermost sidewalls of the first contact layer and separates the gate electrode from the first contact layer. A first hard mask structure is arranged over the first contact layer and is between portions of the first spacer structure. A first contact via extends through the first hard mask structure and contacts the first contact layer. A first liner layer is arranged directly between the first hard mask structure and the first spacer structure.
