    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to semiconductor structures and, more particularly, to a contact over an active gate structure and methods of manufacture. The structure includes: an active gate structure composed of conductive material located between sidewall material; an upper sidewall material above the sidewall material, the upper sidewall material being different material than the sidewall material; and a contact structure in electrical contact with the conductive material of the active gate structure. The contact structure is located between the sidewall material and between the upper sidewall material.

    Abstract: A method of forming contacts over active gates is provided. Embodiments include forming first and second gate structures over a portion of a fin; forming a first and second RSD in a portion of the fin between the first gate structures and between the first and the second gate structure, respectively; forming TS structures over the first and second RSD; forming a first cap layer over the first and second gate structures or over the TS structures; forming a metal oxide liner over the substrate, trenches formed; filling the trenches with a second cap layer; forming an ILD layer over the substrate; forming a CA through a first portion of the ILD and metal oxide layer down to the TS structures over the second RSD; and forming a CB through a second portion of the ILD and metal oxide layer down to the first gate structures.

    Abstract: The method includes steps for improving gate cut isolation region critical dimension (CD) control. Prior to replacement metal gate (RMG) formation, a first sacrificial gate adjacent to first and second channel regions and made of a first sacrificial material (e.g., polysilicon or amorphous silicon) is replaced with a second sacrificial gate made of a second sacrificial material (e.g., amorphous carbon) that is more selectively and anisotropically etchable. A cut is made, dividing the second sacrificial gate into first and second sections, and the cut is then filled with a dielectric to form the gate cut isolation region. The second sacrificial material ensures that, when an opening in a mask pattern used to form the cut extends over a gate sidewall spacer and interlayer dielectric (ILD) material, recesses are not form within the spacer or ILD. Thus, the CD of the isolation region can be controlled.

    Abstract: A method of controlling NFET and PFET gate heights across different gate widths with chamfering and the resulting device are provided. Embodiments include forming an ILD over a fin; forming cavities in the ILD, each with similar or different widths; forming a high-K dielectric layer over the ILD and in each cavity; forming a pWF metal layer over the dielectric layer in one cavity; recessing the pWF metal layer to a height above the fin; forming an nWF metal layer in the cavities over the dielectric and pWF metal layers; recessing the nWF metal layer to a height above the pWF metal layer; forming a barrier layer over the dielectric and nWF metal layers; filling the cavities with a low-resistive metal; and recessing the barrier and dielectric layers to a height above the nWF metal layer; and concurrently etching the low-resistive metal.
