  • Minimizing transistor size in integrated circuits
    Patent number: 7026691
    Abstract: A method for fabricating a field effect transistor (FET) in and on a semiconductor substrate with local interconnects to permit the formation of minimal space between gate and the local interconnects by fabricating the source and drain of the FET and the local interconnects prior to forming the gate of the FET.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 25, 2001
    Date of Patent: April 11, 2006
    Assignee: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
