    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method of forming semiconductor structure. The method includes forming a set of device features on top of a substrate; forming a first dielectric layer directly on top of the set of device features and on top of the substrate, thereby creating a height profile of the first dielectric layer measured from a top surface of the substrate, the height profile being associated with a pattern of an insulating structure that fully surrounds the set of device features; and forming a second dielectric layer in areas that are defined by the pattern to create the insulating structure. A structure formed by the method is also disclosed.

    摘要: Integrated circuits and methods for fabricating integrated circuits are provided. In an exemplary embodiment, a method for fabricating integrated circuits includes providing a sacrificial gate structure over a semiconductor substrate. The sacrificial gate structure includes two spacers and sacrificial gate material between the two spacers. The method recesses a portion of the sacrificial gate material between the two spacers. Upper regions of the two spacers are etched while using the sacrificial gate material as a mask. The method includes removing a remaining portion of the sacrificial gate material and exposing lower regions of the two spacers. A first metal is deposited between the lower regions of the two spacers. A second metal is deposited between the upper regions of the two spacers.

    摘要: Embodiments of the invention provide approaches for forming gate and source/drain (S/D) contacts. Specifically, the semiconductor device includes a gate transistor formed over a substrate, a S/D contact formed over a trench-silicide (TS) layer and positioned adjacent the gate transistor, and a gate contact formed over the gate transistor, wherein at least a portion of the gate contact is aligned over the TS layer. This structure enables contact with the TS layer, thereby decreasing the distance between the gate contact and the source/drain, which is desirable for ultra-area-scaling.

    摘要: A dielectric metal compound liner can be deposited on a semiconductor fin prior to formation of a disposable gate structure. The dielectric metal compound liner protects the semiconductor fin during the pattering of the disposable gate structure and a gate spacer. The dielectric metal compound liner can be removed prior to formation of source and drain regions and a replacement gate structure. Alternately, a dielectric metal compound liner can be deposited on a semiconductor fin and a gate stack, and can be removed after formation of a gate spacer. Further, a dielectric metal compound liner can be deposited on a semiconductor fin and a disposable gate structure, and can be removed after formation of a gate spacer and removal of the disposable gate structure. The dielectric metal compound liner can protect the semiconductor fin during formation of the gate spacer in each embodiment.
