Stacked nanosheet technology with uniform Vth control
Abstract:
A stacked nanosheet semiconductor device and method of forming are provided. In an illustrative embodiment, a gate all around (GAA) stacked nanosheet field effect transistor (FET) includes a plurality of stacked semiconductor channel nanosheet layers and a dummy nanosheet layer formed above a top one of the stacked semiconductor channel nanosheet layers, the dummy nanosheet formed from a dielectric material. The GAA stacked nanosheet FET also includes a high dielectric constant (high-k) material formed around each of the plurality of stacked semiconductor channel nanosheet layers and around the dummy nanosheet layer and a first work function (WF) metal formed around the plurality of stacked semiconductor channel nanosheet layers and the dummy nanosheet layer.
