Unanswered Questions
How does the deposition of different materials at different times reduce parasitic capacitance in the FinFET device?
The abstract mentions that the gate spacers are formed by depositing first and second materials at different times during processing to reduce parasitic capacitance. However, it does not provide specific details on the mechanism behind this reduction.
What specific materials are used in the gate spacers to achieve reduced capacitance in the FinFET device?
While the abstract mentions that two or more materials are deposited to form the gate spacers, it does not specify the exact materials used or their properties that contribute to reducing capacitance.
Original Abstract Submitted
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a FinFET device having gate spacers with reduced capacitance and methods for forming the FinFET device. Particularly, the FinFET device according to the present disclosure includes gate spacers formed by two or more depositions. The gate spacers are formed by depositing first and second materials at different times of processing to reduce parasitic capacitance between gate structures and contacts introduced after epitaxy growth of source/drain regions.
