摘要: A method includes providing a substrate, a source/drain (S/D) feature and semiconductor channel layers over the substrate, a high-k metal gate (HKMG) wrapping around the channel layers, a dielectric cap over the HKMG, a contact etch stop layer (CESL) over the S/D feature and on sidewalls of the dielectric cap and the HKMG, and an interlayer dielectric (ILD) layer over the CESL. The channel layers are spaced one from another along a direction perpendicular to a top surface of the substrate and connect to the S/D feature. The method further includes etching the ILD layer and the CESL to expose a top portion of the S/D feature; etching the S/D feature, resulting in a S/D contact trench, wherein a bottom surface of the S/D contact trench is below an upper surface of a bottommost layer of the channel layers; and forming a metallic contact in the S/D contact trench.

摘要: A semiconductor device comprises a memory macro including a well pick-up (WPU) area oriented lengthwise along a first direction, and memory bit areas adjacent to the WPU area. In the WPU area, the memory macro includes n-type and p-type wells arranged alternately along the first direction with well boundaries between adjacent wells; gate structures over the wells and oriented lengthwise along the first direction; a first dielectric layer disposed at each of the well boundaries; first contact features disposed over one of the p-type wells; and second contact features disposed over one of the n-type wells. From a top view, the first dielectric layer extends along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction and separates all the gate structures in the first WPU area, the first contact features are disposed between the gate structures, and the second contact features are disposed between the gate structures.
