    摘要: In the manufacture of a FinFET device, an isolation architecture is provided between gate and source/drain contact locations. The isolation architecture may include a low-k spacer layer and a contact etch stop layer. The isolation architecture further includes a high-k, etch-selective layer that is adapted to resist degradation during an etch to open the source/drain contact locations. The high-k layer, in conjunction with a self-aligned contact (SAC) capping layer disposed over the gate, forms an improved isolation structure that inhibits short circuits or parasitic capacitance between the gate and source/drain contacts.

    摘要: Various novel methods of forming a gate-to-source/drain conductive contact structure and the resulting novel device structures are disclosed. One illustrative method disclosed herein includes performing at least one first etching process to form a recess in a gate structure of a gate of a transistor device so as to expose an innermost surface of a portion of a sidewall spacer positioned adjacent a first sidewall of the gate structure and performing at least one second etching process through at least the recess in the gate structure so as to remove at least a portion of the portion of the sidewall spacer with the exposed innermost surface.
