Abstract
A transistor includes a semiconductor substrate including a first active region, a second active region, and a semiconductor channel, a gate stack structure that overlies the semiconductor channel, a proximal dielectric material layer overlying the semiconductor substrate, laterally surrounding the gate stack structure, a distal dielectric material layer overlying the proximal dielectric material layer, and a first contact via structure contacting the first active region having a greater lateral extent at a level of the proximal dielectric material layer than at a level of the distal dielectric material layer.
