    摘要: One method disclosed herein includes forming at least one sacrificial sidewall spacer adjacent a sacrificial gate structure that is formed above a semiconducting substrate, removing at least a portion of the sacrificial gate structure to thereby define a gate cavity that is laterally defined by the sacrificial spacer, forming a replacement gate structure in the gate cavity, removing the sacrificial spacer to thereby define a spacer cavity adjacent the replacement gate structure, and forming a low-k spacer in the spacer cavity. A novel device disclosed herein includes a gate structure positioned above a semiconducting substrate, wherein the gate insulation layer has two upstanding portions that are substantially vertically oriented relative to an upper surface of the substrate. The device further includes a low-k sidewall spacer positioned adjacent each of the vertically oriented upstanding portions of the gate insulation layer.

A fin field effect transistor integrated circuit includes a plurality of fins extending from a semiconductor substrate. Each of the plurality of fins includes a fin sidewall, and each of the plurality of fins extends to a fin height such that a trough with a trough base is defined between adjacent fins. A second dielectric is positioned within the trough, where the second dielectric directly contacts the semiconductor substrate at the trough base. The second dielectric extends to a second dielectric height less than the fin height such that protruding fin portions extend above the second dielectric. A first dielectric is positioned between the fin sidewall and the second dielectric.

    摘要: Approaches for forming a replacement metal gate (RMG) of a semiconductor device, are disclosed. Specifically provided is a p-channel field effect transistor (p-FET) and an n-channel field effect transistor (n-FET) formed over a substrate, the p-FET and the n-FET each having a recess formed therein, a high-k layer and a barrier layer formed within each recess, a work-function metal (WFM) selectively grown within the recess of the n-FET, wherein the high-k layer, barrier layer, and WFM are each recessed to a desired height within the recesses, and a metal material (e.g., Tungsten) formed within each recess. By providing a WFM chamfer earlier in the process, the risk of mask materials filling into each gate recess is reduced. Furthermore, the selective WFM growth improves fill-in of the metal material, which lowers gate resistance in the device.

    摘要: Integrated circuits and methods for fabricating integrated circuits are provided. In one example, an integrated circuit includes a semiconductor substrate. A first fin and a second fin are adjacent to each other extending from the semiconductor substrate. The first fin has a first upper section and the second fin has a second upper section. A first epi-portion overlies the first upper section and a second epi-portion overlies the second upper section. A first silicide layer overlies the first epi-portion and a second silicide layer overlies the second epi-portion. The first and second silicide layers are spaced apart from each other to define a lateral gap. A dielectric spacer is formed of a dielectric material and spans the lateral gap. A contact-forming material overlies the dielectric spacer and portions of the first and second silicide layers that are laterally above the dielectric spacer.
