Abstract
Structures for a transistor and methods of forming a structure for a transistor. The structure includes a first dielectric spacer, a second dielectric spacer, and a gate laterally between the first dielectric spacer and the second dielectric spacer. The gate includes a first silicide layer extending from the first dielectric spacer to the second dielectric spacer. The structure further includes a second silicide layer within the first silicide layer, and a contact that is aligned to the second silicide layer.
