Abstract

See full text

A method of making electrical contacts to device regions in a substrate is taught. A first set of contacts are self-aligning and borderless and a second set of contacts are bordered. The method comprises the steps of providing a first insulating layer over the substrate and forming the first set of contacts in a self-aligned and borderless manner. This is followed by forming a second insulating layer over said first insulating layer, in which the second set of contacts that are bordered to the gate electrode and peripheral diffusions are formed through the first and second insulating layers. In addition, bordered contacts to the first set of borderless contacts are formed through the second insulating layer.
