Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for providing an integrated circuit structure having NMOS transistors including an arsenic-doped interface layer between epitaxially grown source/drain regions and a channel region. The arsenic-doped interface layer may include, for example, arsenic-doped silicon (Si:As) having arsenic concentrations in a range of about 1E20 atoms per cm3 to about 5E21 atoms per cm3. The interface layer may have a relatively uniform thickness in a range of about 0.5 nm to full fill where the entire source/drain region is composed of the Si:As. In cases where the arsenic-doped interface layer only partially fills the source/drain regions, another n-type doped semiconductor material can fill remainder (e.g., phosphorus-doped III-V compound or silicon). The use of a layer having a high arsenic concentration can provide improved NMOS performance in the form of abrupt junctions in the source/drain regions and highly conductive source/drain regions with negligible diffusion of arsenic into the channel region.

Abstract: A transistor device comprising a channel disposed on a substrate between a source and a drain, a gate electrode disposed on the channel, wherein the channel comprises a channel material that is separated from a body of the same material on a substrate. A method comprising forming a trench in a dielectric layer on an integrated circuit substrate, the trench comprising dimensions for a transistor body including a width; depositing a spacer layer in a portion of the trench, the spacer layer narrowing the width of the trench; forming a channel material in the trench through the spacer layer; recessing the dielectric layer to define a first portion of the channel material exposed and a second portion of the channel material in the trench; and separating the first portion of the channel material from the second portion of the channel material.

Abstract: Transistors having a plurality of channel semiconductor structures, such as fins, over a dielectric material. A source and drain are coupled to opposite ends of the structures and a gate stack intersects the plurality of structures between the source and drain. Lateral epitaxial overgrowth (LEO) may be employed to form a super-lattice of a desired periodicity from a sidewall of a fin template structure that is within a trench and extends from the dielectric material. Following LEO, the super-lattice structure may be planarized with surrounding dielectric material to expose a top of the super-lattice layers. Alternating ones of the super-lattice layers may then be selectively etched away, with the retained layers of the super-lattice then laterally separated from each other by a distance that is a function of the super-lattice periodicity. A gate dielectric and a gate electrode may be formed over the retained super-lattice layers for a channel of a transistor.

Abstract: Integrated circuit structures having source or drain structures with phosphorous and arsenic co-dopants are described. In an example, an integrated circuit structure includes a fin having a lower fin portion and an upper fin portion. A gate stack is over the upper fin portion of the fin, the gate stack having a first side opposite a second side. A first source or drain structure includes an epitaxial structure embedded in the fin at the first side of the gate stack. A second source or drain structure includes an epitaxial structure embedded in the fin at the second side of the gate stack. The first and second source or drain structures include silicon, phosphorous and arsenic, with an atomic concentration of phosphorous substantially the same as an atomic concentration of arsenic.

Abstract: A transistor includes a semiconductor fin with a subfin layer of a subfin material selected from a first group III-V compound a channel layer of a channel material directly on the subfin layer and extending upwardly therefrom, the channel material being a second group III-V compound different from the first group III-V compound. A gate structure is in direct contact with the channel layer of the semiconductor fin, where the gate structure is further in direct contact with one of (i) a top surface of the subfin layer, the top surface being exposed where the channel layer meets the subfin layer because the channel layer is narrower than the subfin layer, or (ii) a liner layer of liner material in direct contact with opposing sidewalls of the subfin layer, the liner material being distinct from the first and second group III-V compounds.

Abstract: Group III-V semiconductor devices having asymmetric source and drain structures and their methods of fabrication are described. In an example, an integrated circuit structure includes a gallium arsenide layer on a substrate. A channel structure is on the gallium arsenide layer. The channel structure includes indium, gallium and arsenic. A source structure is at a first end of the channel structure and a drain structure is at a second end of the channel structure. The drain structure has a wider band gap than the source structure. A gate structure is over the channel structure.

Abstract: A transistor includes a body of semiconductor material, where the body has laterally opposed body sidewalls and a top surface. A gate structure contacts the top surface of the body. A source region contacts a first one of the laterally opposed body sidewalls and a drain region contacts a second one of the laterally opposed body sidewalls. A first isolation region is under the source region and has a top surface in contact with a bottom surface of the source region. A second isolation region is under the drain region and has a top surface in contact with a bottom surface of the drain region. Depending on the transistor configuration, a major portion of the inner-facing sidewalls of the first and second isolation regions contact respective sidewalls of either a subfin structure (e.g., FinFET transistor configurations) or a lower portion of a gate structure (e.g., gate-all-around transistor configuration).
