Reducing source contact to gate spacing to decrease transistor pitch |
摘要 |
Methods and structures for transistors having reduced source contact to gate spacings in semiconductor devices are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method of forming a transistor can include: forming a gate over an active area of the transistor; forming source and drain regions aligned to the gate in the active area; forming source and drain contacts over the source and drain regions, where a spacing from the gate to the source contact of the transistor is less than a spacing from the gate to the drain contact of the transistor; and using one or more modified masks for forming doping profiles for the source region and the drain region. |

1. A method of forming a transistor, the method comprising:
forming a gate over an active area of the transistor; forming a lightly doped drain (LDD) in a drain region of the transistor using a first mask blocking a source region of the transistor, the LDD having a first doping profile; forming a source extension in the source region of the transistor using a second mask blocking the drain region of the transistor, the source extension having a second doping profile deeper than the first doping profile; forming a source and a drain aligned to the gate in the active area; and forming a source contact and a drain contact respectively over the source and the drain, wherein a spacing from the gate to the source contact of the transistor is less than a spacing from the gate to the drain contact of the transistor. |
