Abstract:
A vertical transistor is described that uses a through silicon via as a gate. In one example, the structure includes a substrate, a via in the substrate, the via being filled with a conductive material and having a dielectric liner, a deep well coupled to the via, a drain area coupled to the deep well having a drain contact, a source area between the drain area and the via having a source contact, and a gate contact over the via.
Abstract:
Substrate-less electrostatic discharge (ESD) integrated circuit structures, and methods of fabricating substrate-less electrostatic discharge (ESD) integrated circuit structures, are described. For example, a substrate-less integrated circuit structure includes a first fin and a second fin protruding from a semiconductor pedestal. An N-type region is in the first and second fins. A P-type region is in the semiconductor pedestal. A P/N junction is between the N-type region and the P-type region, the P/N junction on or in the semiconductor pedestal.
Abstract:
Low leakage non-planar access transistors for embedded dynamic random access memory (eDRAM) and methods of fabricating low leakage non-planar access transistors for eDRAM are described. For example, a semiconductor device includes a semiconductor fin disposed above a substrate and including a narrow fin region disposed between two wide fin regions. A gate electrode stack is disposed conformal with the narrow fin region of the semiconductor fin, the gate electrode stack including a gate electrode disposed on a gate dielectric layer. The gate dielectric layer includes a lower layer and an upper layer, the lower layer composed of an oxide of the semiconductor fin. A pair of source/drain regions is included, each of the source/drain regions disposed in a corresponding one of the wide fin regions.
Abstract:
Precision resistors for non-planar semiconductor device architectures are described. In a first example, a semiconductor structure includes first and second semiconductor fins disposed above a substrate. A resistor structure is disposed above the first semiconductor fin but not above the second semiconductor fin. A transistor structure is formed from the second semiconductor fin but not from the first semiconductor fin. In a second example, a semiconductor structure includes first and second semiconductor fins disposed above a substrate. An isolation region is disposed above the substrate, between the first and second semiconductor fins, and at a height less than the first and second semiconductor fins. A resistor structure is disposed above the isolation region but not above the first and second semiconductor fins. First and second transistor structures are formed from the first and second semiconductor fins, respectively.

Abstract:
Integrated circuit structures having backside power delivery are described. In an example, an integrated circuit structure includes a device layer within a cell boundary, the device layer having a front side and a backside, and the device layer including a source or drain structure. A source or drain trench contact structure is on the front side of the device layer. The source or drain trench contact structure is coupled to the source or drain structure. A metal layer is on the backside of the device layer. A via structure couples the metal layer to the source or drain trench contact structure. The via structure is overlapping and parallel with a cell row boundary of the cell boundary.
