Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure provide an integrated circuit (IC) structure with a niobium-based silicide layer. An IC structure according to the disclosure includes a transistor on a substrate, the transistor including a gate structure above the substrate and a source/drain (S/D) region on the substrate adjacent the gate structure. A niobium-based silicide layer is on at least an upper surface the S/D region of the transistor, and extends across substantially an entire width of the S/D region. An S/D contact to the S/D region is in contact with the niobium-based silicide layer.

Abstract: A method of forming an IC structure includes providing a metal gate structure, a spacer adjacent the metal gate structure and a contact to each of a pair of source/drain regions adjacent sides of the spacer. The spacer includes a first dielectric having a first dielectric constant. The metal gate structure is recessed, and the spacer is recessed to have an upper surface of the first dielectric below an upper surface of the metal gate structure, leaving a lower spacer portion. An upper spacer portion of a second dielectric having a dielectric constant lower than the first dielectric is formed over the lower spacer portion. A gate cap is formed over the metal gate structure and the upper spacer portion. The second dielectric can include, for example, an oxide or a gas. The method may reduce effective capacitance and gate height loss, and improve gate-to-contact short margin.

Abstract: Disclosed is a lateral double-diffused metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (LDMOSFET) with a replacement metal gate (RMG) structure that includes a first section, which traverses a semiconductor body at a channel region in a first-type well, and a second section, which is adjacent to the first section and which traverses the semiconductor body at a drain drift region in a second-type well. The RMG structure includes, in both sections, a first-type work function layer and a second-type work function layer on the first-type work function layer. However, the thickness of the first-type work function layer in the first section is greater than the thickness in the second section such that the RMG structure is asymmetric. Thus, threshold voltage (Vt) at the first section is greater than Vt at the second section and the LDMOSFET has a relatively high breakdown voltage (BV). Also disclosed are methods for forming the LDMOSFET.
