Abstract: Techniques are provided to fabricate semiconductor devices having a nanosheet field-effect transistor device disposed on a semiconductor substrate. The nanosheet field-effect transistor device includes a nanosheet stack structure including a semiconductor channel layer and a source/drain region in contact with an end portion of the semiconductor channel layer of the nanosheet stack structure. A trench formed in the source/drain region is filled with a metal-based material. The metal-based material filling the trench in the source/drain region mitigates the effect of source/drain material overfill on the contact resistance of the semiconductor device.

Abstract: A method is presented for mitigating conductance drift in intercalation cells for neuromorphic computing. The method includes forming a first electro-chemical random access memory (ECRAM) structure over a substrate and forming a second ECRAM over the substrate, the first and second ECRAMs sharing a common contact. The common contact can be either a source contact or a drain contact. Each of the first and second ECRAMs can include a tungsten oxide layer, an electrolyte layer, and a gate contact.

Abstract: Semiconductor devices having vertical FET (field effect transistor) devices with metallic source/drain regions are provided, as well as methods for fabricating such vertical FET devices. For example, a semiconductor device includes a first source/drain region formed on a semiconductor substrate, a vertical semiconductor fin formed on the first source/drain region, a second source/drain region formed on an upper surface of the vertical semiconductor fin, a gate structure formed on a sidewall surface of the vertical semiconductor fin, and an insulating material that encapsulates the vertical semiconductor fin and the gate structure. The first source/drain region comprises a metallic layer and at least a first epitaxial semiconductor layer. For example, the metallic layer of the first source/drain region comprises a metal-semiconductor alloy such as silicide.
