摘要:An integrated circuit includes a substrate with a gate section projectingupwardly between spaced source and drain regions. Side walls project upwardly beyondthe gate section on opposite sides thereof. A dielectric layer has an upper surface spaced
above the upper ends of the side walls. Contact openings are created through thedielectric layer, so as to expose surface portions on the source and drain regions.Conductive contacts are formed in the contact openings. The portions of the side wallswhich project above the gate section permit misalignment of the contact openings,without exposing any portion of the gate electrode during formation of either contactopening.
