Nitride structures having low capacitance gate contacts integrated with copper damascene structures
Abstract:
A semiconductor structure having: a Group III-N semiconductor; a first dielectric disposed in direct contact with the Group III-N semiconductor; a second dielectric disposed over the first dielectric, the first dielectric having a higher dielectric constant than the second dielectric; a third dielectric layer disposed on the first dielectric layer, such third dielectric layer having sidewall abutting sides of the second dielectric layer; and a gate electrode contact structure. The gate electrode structure comprises: stem portion passing through, and in contact with, the first dielectric and the second dielectric having bottom in contact with the Group III-V semiconductor; and, an upper, horizontal portion extending beyond the stem portion and abutting sides of the third dielectric layer. An electrical interconnect structure has side portions passing through and in contact with the third dielectric layer and has a bottom portion in contact with the horizontal portion of the gate electrode contact structure.
