ABSTRACT:
A field-effect transistor is formed with a gate stack, which is patterned by a hard mask and contains a first part of a gate electrode and a second part of the gate electrode that is disposed on the first part. The second part of the gate electrode, which is disposed between the patterned hard mask and the first part of the gate electrode, is laterally recessed, so that the second part of the gate electrode, in a contact hole which is subsequently formed, is at a greater distance from a contact plug with which the contact hole is filled, in order to avoid short circuits.
