    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to semiconductor structures and, more particularly, to a scaled gate contact and source/drain cap and methods of manufacture. The structure includes: a gate structure comprising an active region; source and drain contacts adjacent to the gate structure; a capping material over the source and drain contacts; a gate contact formed directly above the active region of the gate structure and over the capping material; a U-shape dielectric material around the gate contact, above the source and drain contacts; and a contact in direct electrical contact to the source and drain contacts.

    Abstract: A method of concurrently forming source/drain contacts (CAs) and gate contacts (CBs) and device are provided. Embodiments include forming metal gates (PC) and source/drain (S/D) regions over a substrate; forming an ILD over the PCs and S/D regions; forming a mask over the ILD; concurrently patterning the mask for formation of CAs adjacent a first portion of each PC and CBs over a second portion of the PCs; etching through the mask, forming trenches extending through the ILD down to a nitride capping layer formed over each PC and a trench silicide (TS) contact formed over each S/D region; selectively growing a metal capping layer over the TS contacts formed over the S/D regions; removing the nitride capping layer from the second portion of each PC; and metal filling the trenches, forming the CAs and CBs.

    Abstract: Methods to form multi Vt channels, including a single type of WF material, utilizing lower annealing temperatures and the resulting devices are disclosed. Embodiments include providing an interfacial-layer on a semiconductor substrate; forming a first high-k dielectric-layer on the interfacial-layer; forming a second high-k dielectric-layer and a first cap-layer, respectively, on the first high-k dielectric-layer; removing the second high-k dielectric and first cap layers in first and second regions; forming a second cap-layer on the first high-k dielectric-layer in the first and second regions and on the first cap-layer in a third region; performing an annealing process; removing the second cap-layer from all regions and the first cap-layer from the third region; forming a third high-k dielectric-layer over all regions; forming a work-function composition-layer and a barrier-layer on the third high-k dielectric-layer in all regions; removing the barrier-layer from the first region; and forming a gate electrode over all regions.
