    Abstract: A semiconductor structure, such as a FinFET, etc., includes a bi-portioned junction. The bi-portioned junction includes a doped outer portion and a doped inner portion. The dopant concentration of the outer portion is less than the dopant concentration of the inner portion. An electrical connection is formed by diffusion of the dopants within outer portion into a channel region and diffusion of the dopants within the outer portion into the inner region. A low contact resistance is achieved by a contact electrically contacting the relatively higher doped inner portion while device shorting is limited by the relatively lower doped outer portion.

    Abstract: A semiconductor structure includes a first semiconductor region. The first semiconductor region includes a first semiconductor layer composed of a group IV semiconductor material having a top surface and a back surface. The first semiconductor layer has an opening in the top surface to at least a depth greater than an aspect ratio trapping (ART) distance. The first semiconductor region also has a second semiconductor layer composed of a group III/V semiconductor compound deposited within the opening and on the top surface of the first semiconductor layer. The second semiconductor layer forms an ART region from the bottom of the opening to the ART distance.

    Abstract: Methods for forming substantially uniform depth trenches and/or semiconductor fins from the trenches are disclosed. Embodiments of the method may include depositing a germanium including layer over a substrate, the substrate including a plurality of sacrificial semiconductor fins, each pair of sacrificial semiconductor fins separated by a sacrificial pillar. Germanium is diffused from the germanium including layer into the plurality of sacrificial semiconductor fins to a defined uniform depth. The germanium including layer is removed, and the plurality of sacrificial semiconductor fins are etched to the defined uniform depth and selective to the substrate, creating a plurality of trenches having a substantially uniform depth. The trenches can be used to epitaxial grow semiconductor fins having substantially uniform height.

    Abstract: A relaxed fin and a strained fin are formed upon a semiconductor substrate. The strained fin is more highly strained relative to relaxed fin. In a particular example, the relaxed fin may be SiGe (e.g., between 20% atomic Ge concentration and 40% atomic Ge concentration, etc.) and strained fin may be SiGe (e.g., between 50% atomic Ge concentration and 80% atomic Ge concentration, etc.). The strained fin may be located in a pFET region and the relaxed fin may be located in an nFET region of a semiconductor device. As such, mobility benefits may be achieved with the strained fin in the pFET region whilst mobility liabilities may be limited with the relaxed fin in nFET region. The height of the strained fin is greater relative to a critical thickness that which growth defects occur in an epitaxially formed Si blanket layer or in an epitaxially formed Ge blanket layer.
