    Abstract: Integrated circuit (IC) dies and method for manufacturing the same are described herein that mitigate pattern loading effects during manufacture. In one example, the IC includes a die body having a first circuit block separated from an adjacent second circuit block by a buffer zone. The first and second circuit blocks have first and second transistors that are at least partially fabricated from a gate metal layer and disposed immediately adjacent the buffer zone. A dummy structure is formed in the buffer zone and is also at least partially fabricated from the gate metal layer. An amount of gate metal layer material in the dummy structure is selected to mitigate differences in the amount of gate metal layer material in regions of first and second circuit blocks that neighbor each other across the buffer zone.

    Abstract: Examples described herein provide for methods for semiconductor processing for forming source/drain regions of transistors. An example is a method for semiconductor processing. An etch stop liner is formed in a semiconductor substrate. Forming the etch stop liner includes implanting etch selectivity dopants into the semiconductor substrate. The etch selectivity dopants form at least part of the etch stop liner. A source/drain cavity is formed in the semiconductor substrate. Forming the source/drain cavity includes etching the etch stop liner. Etching the etch stop liner selectively etches the etch stop liner relative to a material of the semiconductor substrate. A source/drain region is epitaxially grown in the source/drain cavity.
