摘要: Embodiments of the invention provide approaches for forming gate and source/drain (S/D) contacts. Specifically, semiconductor device includes a transistor formed over substrate, S/D contact trench-silicide (TS) layer positioned adjacent transistor, wherein at least portion is aligned TS layer. This structure enables with layer, thereby decreasing distance between source/drain, which desirable ultra-area-scaling.
