Common fill of gate and source and drain contacts

Abstract

A semiconductor structure includes a source region, a drain region, a channel region and a gate region over a bulk silicon substrate. The gate region further includes a dielectric layer and one or more work function layers disposed over the dielectric layer. A first filler material, such as a flowable oxide is provided over the source region and the drain region. A second filler material, such as an organic material, is provided within the gate region. The first filler material and the second filler material are selectively removed to create, source, drain and gate openings. The gate, source and drain openings are filled simultaneously with a metal, such as tungsten, to create a metal gate structure, source contact and drain contact.
