Abstract:
1. A method of fabricating a semiconductor structure comprising: providing at least one gate region on a surface of a substrate, said at least one gate region comprising a layer of at least one one-dimensional nanostructure, a gate dielectric located on a surface of said at least one one-dimensional nanostructure and a gate electrode located on a surface of said gate dielectric, where said layer of at least one one-dimensional nanostructure is interposed between said substrate and said gate electrode; forming at least one spacer on a surface of said layer of at least one one-dimensional nanostructure, wherein an inner edge of said at least one spacer is laterally abutting both a sidewall of said gate electrode and a sidewall of said gate dielectric; and forming a metal carbide contact located on a surface of said substrate, wherein said metal carbide contact is aligned to and laterally abuts, but does not overlap, both a sidewall edge of said layer of at least one one-dimensional nanostructure and a sidewall edge of said at least one spacer.
