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 2):
The semiconductor device of  claim 1 , wherein the inhibitor film comprises at least one of oxide, silicon, nitrogen, or methylidyne radical.
