    摘要: A method of forming a semiconductor structure includes forming a metal gate above a semiconductor substrate and gate spacers adjacent to the metal gate surrounded by an interlevel dielectric (ILD) layer. The gate spacers and the metal gate are recessed until a height of the metal gate is less than a height of the gate spacers. An etch stop liner is deposited above the gate spacers and the metal gate. A gate cap is deposited above the etch stop liner to form a bi-layer gate cap. A contact hole is formed in the ILD layer adjacent to the metal gate, the etch stop liner in the bi-layer gate cap prevents damage of the gate spacers during formation of the contact hole. A conductive material is deposited in the contact hole to form a contact to a source-drain region in the semiconductor substrate.

    摘要: Integrated circuits and methods of forming integrated circuits are provided. An integrated circuit includes a gate electrode structure overlying a base substrate. The gate electrode structure includes a gate electrode, with a cap disposed over the gate electrode and sidewall spacers disposed adjacent to sidewalls of the gate electrode structure. A source and drain region are formed in the base substrate aligned with the gate electrode structure. A first dielectric layer is disposed adjacent to the sidewall spacers. The sidewall spacers and the cap have recessed surfaces below a top surface of the first dielectric layer, and a protecting layer is disposed over the recessed surfaces. A second dielectric layer is disposed over the first dielectric layer and the protecting layer. Electrical interconnects are disposed through the first dielectric layer and the second dielectric layer, and the electrical interconnects are in electrical communication with the respective source and drain regions.

    摘要: Embodiments of the invention provide approaches for forming gate and source/drain (S/D) contacts. Specifically, the semiconductor device includes a gate transistor formed over a substrate, a S/D contact formed over a trench-silicide (TS) layer and positioned adjacent the gate transistor, and a gate contact formed over the gate transistor, wherein at least a portion of the gate contact is aligned over the TS layer. This structure enables contact with the TS layer, thereby decreasing the distance between the gate contact and the source/drain, which is desirable for ultra-area-scaling.
