Abstract: A semiconductor device is provided for implementing at least one logic element. The semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate. The first transistor and a second transistor are formed on the semiconductor substrate. Each transistor comprises a source, a drain, and a gate. The gate of the first transistor extends longitudinally as part of a first linear strip and the gate of the second transistor extends longitudinally as part of the second linear strip parallel to and spaced apart from the first linear strip. A first CB layer forms a local interconnect layer electrically connected to the gate of the first transistor. A second CB layer forms a local interconnect layer electrically connected to the gate of the second transistor. A CA layer forms a local interconnect layer extending longitudinally between a first end and a second end of the CA layer. The CA layer is electrically connected to the first and second CB layers. The first CB layer is electrically connected adjacent the first end of the CA layer and the second layer is electrically connected adjacent the second end of the CA layer. The first CB layer, the second CB layer and the CA layer are disposed between a first metal layer and the semiconductor substrate. The first metal layer being disposed above each source, each drain, and each gate of the first and second transistors. The CA layer extends substantially parallel to the first and second linear strips and is substantially perpendicular to the first and second CB layers. At least one via selectively provides an electrical connection between the CA or CB layers and the at least one metal layer.

Abstract: One illustrative method disclosed herein includes, among other things, selectively forming a sacrificial material on an upper surface of a top electrode of a memory cell, forming at least one layer of insulating material around the sacrificial material and removing the sacrificial material so as to form an opening in the at least one layer of insulating material, wherein the opening exposes the upper surface of the top electrode. The method also includes forming an internal sidewall spacer within the opening in the at least one layer of insulating material and forming a conductive contact structure that is conductively coupled to the upper surface of the top electrode, wherein a portion of the conductive contact structure is surrounded by the internal sidewall spacer.

Abstract: A method includes providing a semiconductor structure comprising a varactor region and a field effect transistor region. The varactor region includes a body region in a semiconductor material that is doped to have a first conductivity type. A gate-first process is performed by forming a gate stack over the semiconductor structure. The gate stack includes a layer of gate insulation material and a layer of work function adjustment metal positioned over the layer of gate insulation material. The gate stack is patterned to define a first gate structure over the varactor region and a second gate structure over the field effect transistor region. A source region and a drain region are formed in the field effect transistor region adjacent the second gate structure. The source region and the drain region are doped to have a second conductivity type opposite to the first conductivity type.

Abstract: Aspects of the present invention relate to approaches for forming a narrow source-drain contact in a semiconductor device. A contact trench can be etched to a source-drain region of the semiconductor device. A titanium liner can be deposited in this contact trench such that it covers substantially an entirety of the bottom and walls of the contact trench. An x-metal layer can be deposited over the titanium liner on the bottom of the contact trench. A titanium nitride liner can then be formed on the walls of the contact trench. The x-metal layer prevents the nitriding of the titanium liner on the bottom of the contact trench during the formation of the nitride liner.

Abstract: In an exemplary method, a first layer is formed on a substrate. First overlay marks are formed in a first zone of the first layer. A non-transparent layer is formed on top of the first layer. At least a portion of the non-transparent layer is removed from an area above the first zone of the first layer. This provides optical access to the first overlay marks. A second layer is formed on top of the non-transparent layer. Second overlay marks are formed in a second zone of the second layer. Position information is obtained from each of the first overlay marks and the second overlay marks.

Abstract: Methods of forming interconnects and structures for interconnects. A hardmask layer is patterned to form a plurality of first trenches arranged with a first pattern, and sidewall spacers are formed inside the first trenches on respective sidewalls of the hardmask layer bordering the first trenches. An etch mask is formed over the hardmask layer. The etch mask includes an opening exposing a portion of the hardmask layer between a pair of the sidewall spacers. The portion of the hardmask layer exposed by the opening in the etch mask is removed to define a second trench in the hardmask layer.

Abstract: A method, FET structure and gate cut structure are disclosed. The method forms a gate cut opening in a dummy gate in a gate material layer, the gate cut opening extending into a space separating a semiconductor structures on a substrate under the gate material layer.
