Abstract

See full text

A post-planarization recess etch process is employed in combination with a replacement gate scheme to enable formation of multi-directional wiring in gate electrode lines. After formation of disposable gate structures and a planarized dielectric layer, a trench extending between two disposable gate structures are formed by a combination of lithographic methods and an anisotropic etch. End portions of the trench overlap with the two disposable gate structures. After removal of the disposable gate structures, replacement gate structures are formed in gate cavities and the trench simultaneously. A contiguous gate level structure can be formed which include portions that extend along different horizontal directions.
