Zusammenfassung:An integrated circuit structure with a selectively formed and at least partially oxidized metal cap over a gate. In one embodiment, an integrated circuit structure has: a substrate; a metal gate located over the substrate; at least one liner layer over the substrate and substantially surrounding the metal gate; and an at least partially oxidized etch stop layer located directly over the metal gate, the etch stop layer including at least one of cobalt (Co), manganese (Mn), tungsten (W), iridium (Ir), rhodium (Rh) or ruthenium (Ru).
