    Abstract: Silicon-carbon alloy structures can be formed as inverted U-shaped structures around semiconductor fins by a selective epitaxy process. A planarization dielectric layer is formed to fill gaps among the silicon-carbon alloy structures. After planarization, remaining vertical portions of the silicon-carbon alloy structures constitute silicon-carbon alloy fins, which can have sublithographic widths. The semiconductor fins may be replaced with replacement dielectric material fins. In one embodiment, employing a patterned mask layer, sidewalls of the silicon-carbon alloy fins can be removed around end portions of each silicon-carbon alloy fin. An anneal is performed to covert surface portions of the silicon-carbon alloy fins into graphene layers. In one embodiment, each graphene layer can include only a horizontal portion in a channel region, and include a horizontal portion and sidewall portions in source and drain regions. If a patterned mask layer is not employed, each graphene layer can include only a horizontal portion.

    Abstract: A complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) circuit incorporating a substrate and a gate wire over the substrate. The substrate comprises an n-type field effect transistor (n-FET) region, a p-type field effect transistor (p-FET) region and an isolation region disposed between the n-FET and p-FET regions. The gate wire comprises an n-FET gate, a p-FET gate, and gate material extending transversely from the n-FET gate across the isolation region to the p-FET gate. A first conformal insulator covers the gate wire and a second conformal insulator is on the first conformal insulator positioned over the p-FET gate without extending laterally over the n-FET gate. Straining regions for producing different types of strain are formed in recess etched into the n-FET and p-FET regions of the substrate.
