Abstract: Semiconductor devices and methods of fabricating the semiconductor devices with chamfer-less via multi-patterning are disclosed. One method includes, for instance: obtaining an intermediate semiconductor device; performing a trench etch into a portion of the intermediate semiconductor device to form a trench pattern; depositing an etching stack; performing at least one via patterning process; and forming at least one via opening into a portion of the intermediate semiconductor device. An intermediate semiconductor device is also disclosed.

Abstract: Methods of MOL S/D contact patterning of RMG devices without gouging of the Rx area or replacement of the dielectric are provided. Embodiments include forming a SOG layer around a RMG structure, the RMG structure having a contact etch stop layer and a gate cap layer; forming a lithography stack over the SOG and gate cap layers; patterning first and second TS openings through the lithography stack down to the SOG layer; removing a portion of the SOG layer through the first and second TS openings, the removing selective to the contact etch stop layer; converting the SOG layer to a SiO2 layer; forming a metal layer over the SiO2 layer; and planarizing the metal and SiO2 layers down to the gate cap layer.
