Abstract: A method includes providing two structures over a substrate and a source/drain (S/D) contact between the structures. Each structure includes a gate, two gate spacers on opposing sidewalls of the gate, and a first capping layer over the gate and the gate spacers. The method further includes recessing the S/D contact to form a trench, in which a top surface of the S/D contact is below a top surface of the gate spacers. The method further includes depositing an inhibitor layer on the S/D contact but not on surfaces of the first capping layer and not on top surfaces of the gate spacers; depositing a liner layer over top and sidewall surfaces of the first capping layer and surfaces of the gate spacers that are exposed in the trench, wherein the liner layer is free from at least a central portion of the inhibitor layer; and removing the inhibitor layer.

Abstract: Self-aligned gate cutting techniques for multigate devices are disclosed herein that provide multigate devices having asymmetric metal gate profiles and asymmetric source/drain feature profiles. An exemplary multigate device has a channel layer, a metal gate that wraps a portion of the channel layer, and source/drain features disposed over a substrate. The channel layer extends along a first direction between the source/drain features. A first dielectric fin and a second dielectric fin are disposed over the substrate and configured differently. The channel layer extends along a second direction between the first dielectric fin and the second dielectric fin. The metal gate is disposed between the channel layer and the second dielectric fin. In some embodiments, the first dielectric fin is disposed on a first isolation feature, and the second dielectric fin is disposed on a second isolation feature. The first isolation feature and the second isolation feature are configured differently.

Abstract: A method includes providing a structure having a substrate, a fin, source/drain (S/D) features, an isolation structure adjacent to sidewalls of the fin, one or more channel layers over a first dielectric layer and connecting the S/D features, and a gate structure engaging the one or more channel layers. The method further includes thinning down the structure from its backside until the fin is exposed and selectively etching the fin to form a trench that exposes surfaces of the S/D features, the first dielectric layer, and the isolation structure. The method further includes forming a silicide feature on the S/D features and depositing an inhibitor on the silicide feature but not on the surface of the first dielectric layer and the isolation structure, depositing a dielectric liner layer on the surfaces of the isolation structure and the first dielectric layer but not on the inhibitor, and selectively removing the inhibitor.
