More Information
Summary:Devices and methods for forming a device are disclosed. The device includes a substrate with a device region having a length and a width direction. An isolation region surrounds the device region of which an isolation edge abuts the device region. A transistor is disposed in the device region. The transistor includes a gate disposed between first and second source/drain (S/D) regions. A silicide block is disposed on the transistor. The silicide block covers at least the isolation edge adjacent to the gate. The silicide block prevents formation of a silicide contact at least at the isolation edge adjacent to the gate.
