Abstract: A semiconductor structure includes a substrate; a first structure over the substrate and having a first gate stack and two first gate spacers on two opposing sidewalls of the first gate stack; a second structure over the substrate and having a second gate stack and two second gate spacers on two opposing sidewalls of the second gate stack; a source/drain (S/D) feature over the substrate and adjacent to the first and the second gate stacks; an S/D contact over the S/D feature and between one of the first gate spacers and one of the second gate spacers; a conductive via disposed over and electrically connected to the S/D contact; and a dielectric liner layer. A first portion of the dielectric liner layer is disposed on a sidewall of the one of the first gate spacers and is directly above the S/D contact and spaced from the S/D contact.

Abstract: A semiconductor device structure, along with methods of forming such, are described. The semiconductor device structure includes a device, a first conductive structure disposed over the device, and the first conductive structure includes a first sidewall having a first portion and a second portion. The semiconductor device structure further includes a first spacer layer disposed on the first portion, a second conductive structure disposed adjacent the first conductive structure, and the second conductive structure includes a second sidewall having a third portion and a fourth portion. The semiconductor device structure further includes a second spacer layer disposed on the third portion, and an air gap is formed between the first conductive structure and the second conductive structure. The second portion, the first spacer layer, the fourth portion, and the second spacer layer are exposed to the air gap.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a contact structure and an electronic device having the same. The contact structure includes: a substrate; a copper layer disposed on the substrate; an adhesion promotion layer disposed on the copper layer, wherein the adhesion promotion layer forms a monomolecular adsorption layer on the surface of the copper layer; and a silver nanowire layer disposed on the adhesion promotion layer, and the adhesive force between the copper layer and the silver nanowire layer is 3B or more. In the present disclosure, by disposing the adhesion promotion layer on the copper layer, in the stacked structure of the copper layer and the silver nanowire layer, the adhesive force between the copper layer and the silver nanowire layer is increased, so as to prevent a peeling phenomenon of the copper layer occurring in the subsequent yellow-light process.

Abstract: An interface of integrated circuit (IC) die includes a plurality of the contact elements formed as a contact element pattern corresponding to a parallel bus. The contact elements are arranged in an array of rows and columns and divided into a transmitting group and a receiving group. The contact elements of the transmitting group have a first contact element sequence and the contact elements of the receiving group have a second contact element sequence, the first contact element sequence is identical to the second contact element sequence. The contact elements with the first contact element sequence and the second contact element sequence are matched when the contact element pattern is geometrically rotated by 180° with respect to a row direction and a column direction.
