1. A process of forming an integrated circuit, comprising:
providing a partially processed integrated circuit that includes a transistor; passivating said partially processed integrated circuit; after said passivating step, depositing a passivation trapping layer over said transistor; forming a pre-metal dielectric (PMD) layer over said passivation trapping layer; and after the step of forming said PMD layer, etching at least one contact opening through said PMD layer and said passivation trapping layer to contact said transistor; wherein said at least one contact opening is located laterally adjacent to a gate of said transistor. |
