Abstract:
Methods of making a vertical FinFET device having an electrical path over a gate contact landing, and the resulting device including a substrate having a bottom S/D layer thereover and fins extending vertically therefrom; a bottom spacer layer over the bottom S/D layer; a HKMG layer over the bottom spacer layer; a top spacer layer over the HKMG layer; a top S/D layer on top of each fin; top S/D contacts formed over the top S/D layer; an upper ILD layer present in spaces around the top S/D contacts; an isolation dielectric within a portion of a recess of top S/D contacts located above adjacent fins; a gate contact landing within a remaining portion of the recess; a gate contact extending vertically from a bottom surface of the gate contact landing and contacting a portion of the HKMG layer; and an electrical path over at least the gate contact landing.

Claim (Index 18):
The method of  claim 17 , wherein the forming of the gate contact and the gate contact landing comprises:\n depositing a metal in the subsequent gate contact opening to form the gate contact, and depositing the metal in the recessed portion of the isolation dielectric material to form the gate contact landing.
