Method of forming a field effect transistor including depositing and removing insulative material effective to expose transistor gate conductive material but not transistor gate semiconductor material

摘要

The invention includes methods of forming field effect transistors. In one implementation, a method of forming a field effect transistor having a gate comprising a conductive metal or metal compound received over conductively doped semiconductive material includes forming transistor gate semiconductive material into a gate line over a semiconductive material channel region. The gate line includes semiconductive material sidewalls. The semiconductive material sidewalls of the gate line are oxidized. After the oxidizing, at least one of a conductive metal or metal compound is formed in electrical connection with the transistor gate semiconductive material to comprise a substantially coextensive elongated portion of a final construction of the gate line of the field effect transistor being formed.
