Abstract:
One or more semiconductor devices are provided. The semiconductor device comprises a gate body, a conductive prelayer over the gate body, at least one inhibitor film over the conductive prelayer and a conductive layer over the at least one inhibitor film, where the conductive layer is tapered so as to have a top portion width that is greater than the bottom portion width. One or more methods of forming a semiconductor device are also provided, where an etching process is performed to form a tapered opening such that the tapered conductive layer is formed in the tapered opening.

Claim (Index 16):
The semiconductor device of  claim 13 , comprising:\n a second inhibitor film between the conductive prelayer and the conductive layer, wherein:\n a portion of the conductive prelayer extends between the inhibitor film and the second inhibitor film, and \n the conductive layer is in contact with the portion of the conductive prelayer.
