Patent ID: 7233063

Claim:
A structure, comprising: a polysilicon line on a substrate, said polysilicon line having a first sidewall and an opposite second sidewall; a first insulating sidewall layer on said first sidewall and a second insulating layer on said second sidewall of said polysilicon line except on a sidewall of a notch in said second sidewall of said polysilicon line, said notch extending into said polysilicon line toward said first sidewall and extending from said top surface of said polysilicon line to a bottom surface of said polysilicon line, a width of said polysilicon line from said top surface to said bottom surface of said polysilicon line between said notch and said first sidewall of said polysilicon line less than a width of said polysilicon line in regions of said polysilicon line immediately adjacent to said notch; and a silicide layer on a sidewall of said notch.
