It is provided a transistor, a method for manufacturing the transistor, and a semiconductor chip comprising the transistor. A method for manufacturing a transistor may comprise: defining an active area on a semiconductor substrate, and forming on the active area a gate stack, a primary spacer, and source/drain regions, wherein the primary spacer surrounds the gate stack, and the source/drain regions are embedded in the active area and self-aligned with opposite sides of the primary spacer; forming a semiconductor spacer surrounding the primary spacer, and cutting off the ends of the semiconductor spacer in the width direction of the gate stack so as to isolate the source/drain regions from each other; and covering the surfaces of the source/drain regions and the semiconductor spacer with a layer of metal or alloy, and annealing the resulting structure, so that a metal silicide is formed on the surfaces of the source/drain regions, and so that the semiconductor spacer is transformed into a silicide spacer simultaneously. As such, the risk of transistor failure due to atoms or ions of Ni entering the channel region through the source/drain extension regions is reduced.

The present invention provides a method for manufacturing a semiconductor structure, comprising: forming a first contact layer on an exposed active region of a first spacer; forming a second spacer at a region of the first contact layer close to a gate stack to partially cover the exposed active region; forming a second contact layer in the uncovered exposed active region, wherein when a diffusion coefficient of the first contact layer is the same as that of the second contact layer, the first contact layer has a thickness less than that of the second contact layer; and when the diffusion coefficient of the first contact layer is different from that of the second contact layer, the diffusion coefficient of the first contact layer is smaller than that of the second contact layer. Correspondingly, the present invention also provides a semiconductor structure. The present invention is beneficial to the suppression of the diffusion of corresponding compositions from the contact layers into the channel region, reduction of the short channel effects, and improvement of the reliability of the semiconductor structure.

The present invention relates to a semiconductor device and a method for manufacturing the same. According to the present invention, when a gate is formed via a replacement gate process, a portion of a work function metal layer and a portion of a first metal layer are removed after the work function metal layer and the first metal layer are formed, and then the removed portions are replaced with a second metal layer. A device having such a gate structure greatly reduces the resistivity of the whole gate, due to a portion of the work function metal layer with a high resistivity being removed and the removed portion being filled with the second metal layer with a low resistivity, thereby AC performances of the device are improved.
