Abstract

See full text

A microelectronic device may be formed with at least one transistor having a source region and a drain region, wherein an interlayer dielectric layer may be formed adjacent the transistor. A trench may be formed through the first interlayer dielectric layer to at least one of the source region and the drain region and a conductive contact may be formed in the trench, wherein the conductive contact comprises a conformal conductive layer separated from the at least one of the source region and the drain region by a conformal insulating layer.
