    Abstract: A structure fabrication method. A provided structure includes a gate dielectric region on the substrate and a gate electrode region on the gate dielectric region. Atoms are implanted in a top portion of the gate electrode region, which expands the top portion of the gate electrode in a direction parallel to a top surface of the gate dielectric region. After the atom implantation, a conformal dielectric layer is formed on top and side walls of the gate electrode region. A dielectric spacer layer, formed on the conformal dielectric layer, is etched such that only spacer portions of the dielectric spacer layer which are under the conformal dielectric layer remain, wherein for any point of the remaining spacer portions, a straight line through that point and parallel to a reference direction intersects the conformal dielectric layer. The reference direction is perpendicular to the top surface of the gate dielectric region.

    Abstract: Transistors exhibiting different electrical characteristics such as different switching threshold voltage or different leakage characteristics are formed on the same chip or wafer by selectively removing a film or layer which can serve as an out-diffusion sink for an impurity region such as a halo implant and out-diffusing an impurity such as boron into the out-diffusion sink, leaving the impurity region substantially intact where the out-diffusion sink has been removed. In forming CMOS integrated circuits, such a process allows substantially optimal design for both low-leakage and low threshold transistors and allows a mask and additional associated processes to be eliminated, particularly where a tensile film is employed to increase electron mobility since the tensile film can be removed from selected NMOS transistors concurrently with removal of the tensile film from PMOS transistors.

    Abstract: Techniques relate to forming a gate metal via. A gate contact has a bottom part in a first layer. A cap layer is formed on the gate contact and first layer. The gate contact is formed on top of the gate. A second layer is formed on the cap layer. The second layer and cap layer are recessed to remove a portion of the cap layer from a top part and upper sidewall parts of the gate contact. A third layer is formed on the second layer, cap layer, and gate contact. The third layer is etched through to form a gate trench over the gate contact to be around the upper sidewall parts of the gate contact. The gate trench is an opening that stops on the cap layer. Gate metal via is formed on top of the gate contact and around upper sidewall parts of the gate contact.
