摘要: Techniques for forming self-aligned contacts by forming gate sidewall spacers and gates before forming the contacts are provided. In one aspect, a method of forming self-aligned contacts includes the steps of: forming multiple gate sidewall spacers on a substrate; burying the gate sidewall spacers in a dielectric; forming gate trenches by selectively removing the dielectric from regions between the gate sidewall spacers in which gates will be formed; forming the gates in the gate trenches; forming contact trenches by selectively removing the dielectric from regions between the gate sidewall spacers in which the self-aligned contacts will be formed; and forming the self-aligned contacts in the contact trenches. A device structure having self-aligned contacts is also provided.

摘要: A method for forming self-aligned contacts includes patterning a mask between fin regions of a semiconductor device, etching a cut region through a first dielectric layer between the fin regions down to a substrate and filling the cut region with a first material, which is selectively etchable relative to the first dielectric layer. The first dielectric layer is isotropically etched to reveal source and drain regions in the fin regions to form trenches in the first material where the source and drain regions are accessible. The isotropic etching is super selective to remove the first dielectric layer relative to the first material and relative to gate structures disposed between the source and drain regions. Metal is deposited in the trenches to form silicide contacts to the source and drain regions.

摘要: A method for filling gaps between structures includes forming a plurality of high aspect ratio structures adjacent to one another with gaps, forming a first dielectric layer on tops of the structures and conformally depositing a spacer dielectric layer over the structures. The spacer dielectric layer is removed from horizontal surfaces and a protection layer is conformally deposited over the structures. The gaps are filled with a flowable dielectric, which is recessed to a height along sidewalls of the structures by a selective etch process such that the protection layer protects the spacer dielectric layer on sidewalls of the structures. The first dielectric layer and the spacer dielectric layer are exposed above the height using a higher etch resistance than the protection layer to maintain dimensions of the spacer layer dielectric through the etching processes. The gaps are filled by a high density plasma fill.

摘要: A method for preserving interlevel dielectric in a gate cut region includes recessing a dielectric fill to expose cap layers of gate structures formed in a device region and in a cut region and forming a liner in the recess on top of the recessed dielectric fill. The liner includes a material to provide etch selectivity to protect the dielectric fill. The gate structures in the cut region are recessed to form a gate recess using the liner to protect the dielectric fill from etching. A gate material is removed from within the gate structure using the liner to protect the dielectric fill from etching. A dielectric gap fill is formed to replace the gate material and to fill the gate recess in the cut region.
