Abstract
The present disclosure describes a fin field-effect transistor (FinFET) standard cell with double self-aligned contacts. The FinFET standard cell with double self-aligned contacts includes a self-aligned gate contact spanning over a diffusion bonding hole and a self-aligned diffusion bonding hole contact spanning over a gate, and the FinFET device further includes a cap layer between the two self-aligned contacts so as to separate the two self-aligned contacts, thereby further reducing the size of the active fin or a dummy fin so as to further reduce the area of the FinFET standard cell, to prevent a bridge connection between adjacent M0 structures like the M0A and M0P, thereby improving yield of manufacturing.
