摘要:
An integrated circuit structure includes a first non-planar semiconductor device (101) and a second non-planar semiconductor device (151). The first non-planar semiconductor device includes a first body (118a, 118b, 118c), a first gate structure (132, 120) at least in part wrapped around the first body, and a first source region and a first drain region. The first body extends laterally between the first source and first drain regions. The second non-planar semiconductor device comprises a second body (168a, 168b, 168c), a second gate structure (170, 182) at least in part wrapped around the second body, and a second source region and a second drain region. The second body extends laterally between the second source and second drain regions. In an example, a first height (hL) of the first body is at least 5% different from a second height (hH) of the second body. Each of the first and second bodies can be, for instance, a nanoribbon, nanosheet, or nanowire.

Techniques are disclosed for wafer bonding with an encapsulation layer. A first semiconductor substrate is provided. An encapsulation layer is then formed on top of the first semiconductor substrate. The encapsulation layer is formed of an encapsulation material that creates a stable oxide when exposed to an oxidizing agent. A first bonding layer is formed on top of the encapsulation layer. Next, a second semiconductor substrate is provided. A second bonding layer is formed on top of the second bonding layer. Thereafter, the first semiconductor substrate is bonded to the second semiconductor substrate by attaching the first bonding layer to the second bonding layer.

A method is described for forming an element of a microelectronic circuit. A sacrificial layer is formed on an upper surface of a support layer. The sacrificial layer is extremely thin and uniform. A height-defining layer is then formed on the sacrificial layer, whereafter the sacrificial layer is etched away so that a well-defined gap is left-between an upper surface of the support layer and a lower surface of the height-defining layer. A monocrystalline semiconductor material is then selectively grown from a nucleation silicon site through the gap. The monocrystalline semiconductor material forms a monocrystalline layer having a thickness corresponding to the thickness of the original sacrificial layer.

An apparatus includes a first layer comprising silicon, and a conductive feature extending within the silicon of the first layer. The conductive feature includes (i) conductive material extending throughout the length of the conductive feature, (ii) a barrier layer between the conductive material and the silicon of the first layer, and (iii) a second layer including dielectric material between the barrier layer and the silicon of the first layer. In an example, one or more discontinuous monolayers of metal are between sections of the dielectric material and the silicon of the first layer. The conductive feature is formed in a recess extending within the silicon of the first layer. In an example, the recess is formed using a metal assisted etch process using the metal as a catalyst, and one or more discontinuous monolayers of the metal are remnants of the metal used in the metal assisted etch process.

Multi-plate MIM capacitors include a staircase structure, with steps including a high-k capacitor dielectric and one or more electrode plates. Contacts pass through insulator fill material and land on the electrode plate of a respective step. A recess passes through the staircase structure. In some examples, the recess is filled with insulator material, and steps of the staircase structure have a bilayer structure (e.g., lower layer of capacitor dielectric and upper layer of capacitor electrode plate). In other examples, the recess is filled with conductive material. In such cases, steps of the staircase structure have a multilayer structure that includes an upper portion and a lower portion. The lower portion includes insulator material and the upper portion includes a layer of capacitor dielectric between first and second capacitor electrode plates, with the second capacitor electrode plates being continuous with, or otherwise in contact with, the conductive material in the recess.
摘要:
Methods, transistors, and systems are discussed related to anisotropically etching back deposited epitaxial source and drain semiconductor materials for reduced lateral source and drain spans in the fabricated transistors. Such lateral width reduction of the source and drain materials enables improved transistor scaling and perturbation reduction in the resultant source and drain semiconductor materials. In particular a nanosheet FET (1000) is disclosed, with nanosheets (108), gate (1001) and epitaxially grown source/drain materials (106, 107). The width of the source/drain regions is larger than the width of the nanosheets, but not more than one-third.
