Method of concurrently forming source/drain and gate contacts and related device
Abstract:
A method of concurrently forming source/drain contacts (CAs) and gate contacts (CBs) and device are provided. Embodiments include forming metal gates (PC) and source/drain (S/D) regions over a substrate; forming an ILD over the PCs and S/D regions; forming a mask over the ILD; concurrently patterning the mask for formation of CAs adjacent a first portion of each PC and CBs over a second portion of the PCs; etching through the mask, forming trenches extending through the ILD down to a nitride capping layer formed over each PC and a trench silicide (TS) contact formed over each S/D region; selectively growing a metal capping layer over the TS contacts formed over the S/D regions; removing the nitride capping layer from the second portion of each PC; and metal filling the trenches, forming the CAs and CBs.
