Abstract:
1. A metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) structure that comprises: at least one metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor located on a surface of a Si-containing substrate, said at least one metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor comprises at least a gate conductor having a gate edge; a first inner silicide contact having an edge that is substantially aligned to the gate edge of the at least one metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor, said first inner silicide contact having a first thickness and a first resistivity, wherein said inner silicide contact is not offset from said gate edge by a width of any overlying spacer; and a second outer silicide contact located adjacent to said first inner silicide contact, said second outer silicide contact having a second thickness and a second resistivity, wherein said second thickness is greater than the first thickness and second resistivity is lower than the first resistivity.
