    Abstract: A method of forming a semiconductor device that includes forming a sacrificial gate structure on a channel portion of a fin structure, wherein the angle at the intersection of the sidewall of the sacrificial gate structure and an upper surface of the channel portion of the fin structure is obtuse. Epitaxial source and drain region structures are formed on a source region portion and a drain region portion of the fin structure. At least one dielectric material is formed on the sidewall of the sacrificial gate structure. The sacrificial gate structure may be removed to provide an opening to the channel portion of the fin structure. A function gate structure is formed in the opening. At least one angle defined by the intersection of a sidewall of the functional gate structure and an upper surface of the channel portion of the fin structure is obtuse.

    Abstract: Semiconductor structures fabricated via extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithographic patterning techniques implementing directional deposition on a EUV resist mask improves selectivity and critical dimension control during the patterning of features in multiple layers of the semiconductor substrate. A semiconductor structure includes a substrate structure having an extreme ultraviolet resist mask disposed over one or more additional layers of the substrate structure. The extreme ultraviolet resist mask defines patterning features. A hard mask layer including a hard mask material is disposed on the extreme ultraviolet resist mask and covers the patterning features of the extreme ultraviolet resist mask.

    Abstract: Various semiconductor fabrication methods and structures are disclosed for cost effectively fabricating a self-aligned contact. A source-drain active region is on a substrate and horizontally extends to sidewall spacers of two adjacent gate stacks on the substrate. A conductive material layer including Titanium is formed by selective deposition on the source-drain active area. An interlevel dielectric (ILD) layer is deposited over the source-drain active area and the two gate stacks. Vertical directional etching in the ILD layer forms a vertical trench contacting the conductive material layer. Selective wet etching in the vertical trench selectively etches the conductive material layer and forms a void therein. Deposition of a second conductive material in the vertical trench fills the vertical trench, including the void, and the second conductive material contacts the top surface of the source-drain active area to form a source-drain self-aligned contact.
