CONTACT ETCH STOP LAYERS OF A FIELD EFFECT TRANSISTOR

摘要

A field effect transistor, the field effect transistor includes a substrate including a surface and a gate structure including sidewalls and a top surface, the gate structure being positioned over the substrate. The field effect transistor further includes a spacer adjacent to the sidewalls of the gate structure and a first contact etch stop layer over the spacer and extending along the surface of the substrate. The field effect transistor further includes an interlayer dielectric layer adjacent to the first contact etch stop layer, wherein a top surface of the interlayer dielectric layer is coplanar with the top surface of the gate structure. The field effect transistor further includes a second contact etch stop layer over at least a portion of the top surface of the gate structure.
