ABSTRACT:
An improved processing technique results in a structure which maximizes contact area by eliminating a sidewall spacer used to form LDD regions. A sacrificial spacer is provided during processing to form the LDD regions, and is then removed prior to further processing of the device. A sidewall spacer is then formed in a self-aligned contact from a later deposited oxide layer used as an interlevel dielectric. This leaves only a single oxide sidewall spacer alongside the gate electrode, maximizing the surface area available for the self-aligned contact itself.
