Abstract
Processes form integrated circuit apparatuses that include parallel fins, wherein the fins are patterned in a first direction. Parallel gate structures intersect the fins in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, wherein the gate structures have a lower portion adjacent to the fins and an upper portion distal to the fins. Source/drain structures are positioned on the fins between the gate structures. Source/drain contacts are positioned on the source/drain structures and multiple insulator layers are positioned between the gate structures and the source/drain contacts. Additional upper sidewall spacers are positioned between the upper portion of the gate structures and the multiple insulator layers.
