Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein include forksheet transistor transistors with self-aligned backbones. In an example, an integrated circuit structure includes a backbone including a lower backbone portion distinct from an upper backbone portion. A first vertical stack of nanowires is in lateral contact with a first side of the backbone. A second vertical stack of nanowires is in lateral contact with a second side of the backbone, the second side opposite the first side.

Abstract: Integrated circuit structures having metal gate cut plug structures are described. For example, an integrated circuit structure includes a vertical stack of horizontal nanowires. A gate electrode is over the vertical stack of horizontal nanowires. A conductive trench contact is adjacent to the gate electrode. A dielectric sidewall spacer is between the gate electrode and the conductive trench contact. A dielectric cut plug structure extends through the gate electrode, through the dielectric sidewall spacer, and through the conductive trench contact. The dielectric cut plug structure includes silicon and oxygen, with oxygen in direct contact with a metal-containing layer of the gate electrode.
