Abstract: Process of using a dummy gate as an interconnection and a method of manufacturing the same are disclosed. Embodiments include forming on a semiconductor substrate dummy gate structures at cell boundaries, each dummy gate structure including a set of sidewall spacers and a cap disposed between the sidewall spacers; removing a first sidewall spacer or at least a portion of a first cap on a first side of a first dummy gate structure and forming a first gate contact trench over the first dummy gate structure; and filling the first gate contact trench with a metal to form a first gate contact.

Abstract: A method of forming a self-aligned MTJ without using a photolithography mask and the resulting device are provided. Embodiments include forming a first electrode over a metal layer, the metal layer recessed in a low-k dielectric layer; forming a MTJ layer over the first electrode; forming a second electrode over the MTJ layer; removing portions of the second electrode, the MTJ layer, and the first electrode down to the low-k dielectric layer; forming a silicon nitride-based layer over the second electrode and the low-k dielectric layer; and planarizing the silicon nitride-based layer down to the second electrode.
