摘要:
A nanotube transistor, such as a carbon nanotube transistor, may be formed with a top gate electrode and a spaced source and drain. Conduction along the transistor from source to drain is controlled by the gate electrode. Underlying the gate electrode are at least two nanotubes. In some embodiments, the substrate may act as a back gate.

Ambipolar conduction can be reduced in carbon nanotube transistors by forming a gate electrode of a metal. Metal sidewall spacers having different workfunctions than the gate electrode may be formed to bracket the metal gate electrode.
摘要:
A field-effect transistor for a narrow-body, multiple-gate transistor such as a FinFET, tri-gate or Ω-FET is described. The corners of the channel region disposed beneath the gate are rounded n, for instance, oxidation steps, to reduce the comer effect associated with conduction initiating in the corners of the channel region.

A semiconductor device is described. That semiconductor device comprises a high-k gate dielectric layer that is formed over a channel that is positioned within a substrate, and a metal gate electrode that is formed on the high-k gate dielectric layer. The high-k gate dielectric layer has off-state leakage characteristics that are superior to those of a silicon dioxide based gate dielectric, and on-state mobility characteristics that are superior to those of a high-k gate dielectric that comprises an isotropic material.

A structure to form an energy well within a Carbon nanotube is described. The structure includes a doped semiconductor region and an undoped semiconductor region. The Carbon nanotube is between the doped semiconductor region and the undoped semiconductor region. The structure also includes a delta doped semiconductor region. The undoped semiconductor region is between the Carbon nanotube and the delta doped region. The delta doped semiconductor region is doped opposite that of the doped semiconductor region.

摘要:
A method for fabricating a field-effect transistor with a gate completely wrapping around a channel region is described. Ion implantation is used to make the oxide beneath the channel region of the transistor more etchable, thereby allowing the oxide to be removed below the channel region. Atomic layer deposition is used to form a gate dielectric and a metal gate entirely around the channel region once the oxide is removed below the channel region.
摘要:
The fabrication of a tri-gate transistor formed with a replacement gate process is described. A nitride dummy gate, in one embodiment, is used allowing the growth of epitaxial source and drain regions immediately adjacent to the dummy gate. This reduces the external resistance.
