    Abstract: Structures that include a peaking inductor and a T-coil, and methods associated with forming such structures. A back-end-of-line interconnect structure includes a first metallization level, a second metallization level, and a third metallization level arranged between the first metallization level and the second metallization level. The T-coil includes a first inductor with a first coil arranged in the first metallization level and a second inductor with a second coil arranged in the second metallization level. A peaking inductor includes a coil arranged in the third metallization level. The first coil of the first inductor, the second coil of the second inductor, and the coil of the peaking inductor are stacked in the back-end-of-line interconnect structure with an overlapping arrangement.

    Abstract: Structures for a semiconductor device including airgap isolation and methods of forming a semiconductor device structure that includes airgap isolation. The structure includes a trench isolation region, an active region of semiconductor material surrounded by the trench isolation region, and a field-effect transistor including a gate within the active region. The structure further includes a dielectric layer over the field-effect transistor, a first gate contact coupled to the gate, and a second gate contact coupled to the gate. The first and second gate contacts are positioned in the dielectric layer over the active region, and the second gate contact is spaced along a longitudinal axis of the gate from the first gate contact. The structure further includes an airgap including a portion positioned in the dielectric layer over the gate between the first and second gate contacts.
