    Abstract: A metal gate structure comprises a metal layer partially filling a trench of the metal gate structure. The metal layer comprises a first metal sidewall, a second metal sidewall and a metal bottom layer. By employing an uneven protection layer during an etching back process, the thickness of the first metal sidewall is less than the thickness of the metal bottom layer and the thickness of the second metal sidewall is less than the thickness of the metal bottom layer. The thin sidewalls allow extra space for subsequent metal-fill processes.

    Abstract: An n-FET and a p-FET each have elevated source/drain structures. Optionally, the p-FET elevated-SOURCE/DRAIN structure is epitaxially grown from a p-FET recess formed in the substrate. Optionally, the n-FET elevated-SOURCE/DRAIN structure is epitaxially grown from an n-FET recess formed in the substrate. The n-FET and p-FET elevated-source/drain structures are both silicided, even though the structures may have different materials and/or different structure heights. At least a thermal treatment portion of the source/drain structure siliciding is performed simultaneously for the n-FET and p-FET elevated source/drain structures. Also, the p-FET gate electrode, the n-FET gate electrode, or both, may optionally be silicided simultaneously (same metal and/or same thermal treatment step) with the n-FET and p-FET elevated-source/drain structures, respectively; even though the gate electrodes may have different materials, different silicide metal, and/or different electrode heights. The silicides formed on n-FET and p-FET elevated-source/drain structures preferably do not extend below a top surface of the substrate more than about 250 angstroms; and the structure heights may be selected to provide this.
