Abstract
One aspect includes a semiconductor device with self-aligned contacts, integrated circuit and manufacturing method. One embodiment provides gate control structures. Each of the gate control structures is configured to control the conductivity of a channel region within a silicon carbide substrate by field effect. A contact hole is self-aligned to opposing sidewalls of adjacent gate control structures by intermediate spacers.
