Process of forming a semiconductor assembly having a contact structure and contact liner

摘要

A contact structure and a method of forming thereof for semiconductor devices or assemblies are described. The method provides process steps to create a contact structure encompassed by a sacrificial contact medium having an opening therein that is lined with a conductive spacer liner that effectively prevents the contact structure from being damaged during removal of the surrounding sacrificial contact medium material. The sacrificial contact medium is then replaced with a non-boron doped dielectric material.
