Abstract

See full text

Semiconductor structures with reduced gate and/or contact resistances and fabrication methods are provided. The method includes: providing a semiconductor device, which includes forming a transistor of the semiconductor device, where the transistor forming includes: forming a T-shaped gate for the transistor, the T-shaped gate being T-shaped in elevational cross-section; and forming an inverted-T-shaped contact to an active region of the transistor, the inverted-T-shaped contact including a conductive structure with an inverted T-shape in elevational cross-section.
