Abstract

A self-aligned metal field effect transistor is described which achieves self-aligned metal to silicon contacts and submicron contact-to-contact and metal-to-metal spacing for field effect transistor integrated circuits. The insulation between the contacts and the metal is a pattern of dielectric material having a thickness dimension in the order of a micron or less. The metal and dielectric structure is substantially planar.
