Abstract:
A microelectronic transistor may be fabricated having an airgap spacer formed as a gate sidewall spacer, such that the airgap spacer is positioned between a gate electrode and a source contact and/or a drain contact of the microelectronic transistor. As the dielectric constant of gaseous substances is significantly lower than that of a solid or a semi-solid dielectric material, the airgap spacer may result in minimal capacitive coupling between the gate electrode and the source contact and/or the drain contact, which may reduce circuit delay of the microelectronic transistor.

Claim (Index 1):
A microelectronic transistor, comprising:\n a microelectronic substrate; a source region and a drain region formed in the microelectronic substrate; an interlayer dielectric disposed over the microelectronic substrate; a source contact extending through the interlayer dielectric and electrically contacting the source region; a drain contact extending through the interlayer dielectric and electrically contacting the drain region; a gate positioned between the source contact and the drain contact; and an airgap spacer positioned between the gate and at least one of the source contact and the drain contact, wherein the airgap spacer is defined by only the microelectronic substrate, the interlayer dielectric, and the gate.
