    Abstract: In various aspects, the present disclosure relates to device structures and a method of forming such a device structure. In some illustrative embodiments herein, a device is provided, including a semiconductor substrate having a first trench formed therein, and a first trench isolation structure formed in the first trench. The first trench isolation structure includes first and second insulating liners formed adjacent inner surfaces of the first trench, wherein the first insulating liner is in direct contact with inner surfaces of the first trench and the second insulating liner is formed directly on the first insulating liner, and a first insulating filling material which at least partially fills the first trench. In some aspects, a thickness of the first insulating liner is greater than a thickness of the second insulating liner.

    Abstract: Methods for fabricating an integrated circuit are provided herein. In an embodiment, a method for fabricating an integrated circuit includes forming a gate electrode structure overlying a semiconductor substrate. First sidewall spacers are formed adjacent to sidewalls of the gate electrode structure, and the first sidewall spacers include a nitride. An oxide etchant is applied to a surface of the semiconductor substrate after forming the first sidewall spacers. A second spacer material that includes a nitride is deposited over the semiconductor substrate and the first sidewall spacers to form a second spacer layer after applying the oxide etchant to the surface of the semiconductor substrate. The second spacer layer is etched with a second spacer etchant to form second sidewall spacers.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a gate electrode structure of a transistor, the gate electrode structure being positioned above a semiconductor region and having a gate insulation layer that includes a high-k dielectric material, a metal-containing cap material positioned above the gate insulation layer, and a gate electrode material positioned above the metal-containing cap material. A bottom portion of the gate electrode structure has a first length and an upper portion of the gate electrode structure has a second length that is different than the first length, wherein the first length is approximately 50 nm or less. A strain-inducing semiconductor alloy is embedded in the semiconductor region laterally adjacent to the bottom portion of the gate electrode structure, and drain and source regions are at least partially positioned in the strain-inducing semiconductor alloy.
