摘要: A method of fabricating a stacked semiconductor device includes forming nanosheet stacks including silicon layers and silicon germanium layers on a substrate. The method includes growing a first epitaxial layer on a source and drain and depositing an interlayer dielectric on the first epitaxial layer. The method includes etching the interlayer dielectric to expose the first epitaxial layer. The method includes etching a portion of the first epitaxial layer and growing a second epitaxial layer on the first epitaxial layer and etching the interlayer dielectric and depositing a first liner in a recess left by the etching, forming a pFET. The method includes etching a portion of the first liner and removing the second epitaxial layer leaving a portion of the first epitaxial layer exposed and depositing a second insulator layer on the first epitaxial layer, forming an nFET. The pFET and nFET are disposed adjacent to one another vertically.

摘要: A tunnel field-effect transistor having source and drain contacts made from different electrically conductive materials enables independent optimization of contact resistance on the source and drain sides of the transistor. Dielectric caps on the gate electrode, source contact and drain contact made from different materials allow the selective removal of portions of the caps during gate, source and drain wiring. A wiring strap can be formed across the gate and drain to electrically connect two source contacts together. Multiple drain contacts or multiple gate electrodes may alternatively be electrically connected by wiring straps. Strap wiring facilitates placing transistors in closer proximity to increase the number of transistors for a given chip area.

摘要: A method is presented for reducing parasitic capacitance. The method includes forming multi-layer spacers between source/drain regions, forming a dielectric liner over the multi-layer spacers and the source/drain regions, forming gate structures adjacent the multi-layer spacers, forming a self-aligned contact cap over the gate structures, and removing a sacrificial layer of each of the multi-layer spacers to form air-gaps between the gate structures and the source/drain regions.

摘要: In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, a method of forming a densified fill layer is provided. The method includes forming a pair of adjacent vertical fins on a substrate, forming an inner liner on the sidewalls of the adjacent vertical fins, and forming a sacrificial layer on the inner liner. The method further includes forming a fill layer between the pair of adjacent vertical fins, wherein the fill layer is in contact with at least a portion of the sacrificial layer, removing at least a portion of the sacrificial layer in contact with the fill layer to form sidewall channels adjacent to the fill layer, and subjecting the fill layer to a densification process to form the densified fill layer.

摘要: A field-effect transistor device including an asymmetric spacer assembly allows lower parasitic capacitance on the drain side of the device and lower resistance on the source side. The asymmetric spacer assembly is formed by a self-aligned process, resulting in less gate/junction overlap on the drain side of the device and greater gate/junction overlap on the source side of the device. Asymmetric transistors having small gate lengths can be obtained without overlay/misalignment issues.

摘要: A method of forming a semiconductor structure includes patterning two or more fins over a top surface of a bottom source/drain layer, the bottom source/drain layer disposed over a substrate. The method also includes forming bottom spacers disposed over the top surface of the bottom source/drain layer between the two or more fins, the bottom spacers having a uniform height on sidewalls of the two or more fins. The bottom spacers comprise dielectric regions disposed adjacent the sidewalls of the two or more fins and at least partially filling divots in the bottom source/drain regions, and liner regions disposed adjacent the dielectric regions. The two or more fins comprise channels for a vertical field-effect transistor (VFET) device.

摘要: Embodiments of the invention are directed to methods of forming a FinFET. A non-limiting example method includes forming a fin across from a major surface of a substrate. A dummy gate is formed around a channel region of the fin. A source region or a drain region is formed on the fin, and the dummy gate is replaced with a metal gate structure. Subsequent to replacing the dummy gate with the metal gate structure, dopants are inserted into the source region or the drain region.
