    Abstract: Asymmetric FinFET devices and methods for fabricating such devices are provided. In one embodiment, a method includes providing a semiconductor substrate comprising a plurality of fin structures formed thereon and depositing a conformal liner over the fin structures. A first portion of the conformal liner is removed, leaving a first space between the fins structures and forming a first metal gate in the first space between the fin structures. A second portion of the conformal liner is removed, leaving a second space between the fin structures and forming a second metal gate in the second space between the fin structures.

    Abstract: One illustrative method disclosed herein includes removing a portion of a sacrificial sidewall spacer to thereby expose at least a portion of the sidewalls of a sacrificial gate electrode and forming a liner layer on the exposed sidewalls of the sacrificial gate electrode. In this example, the method also includes forming a sacrificial gap fill material above the liner layer, exposing and removing the sacrificial gate electrode to thereby define a gate cavity that is laterally defined by the liner layer, forming a replacement gate structure, removing the sacrificial gap fill material and forming a low-k sidewall spacer adjacent the liner layer. A device is also disclosed that includes a gate cap layer, a layer of silicon nitride or silicon oxynitride positioned on each of two upstanding portions of a gate insulation layer and a low-k sidewall spacer positioned on the layer of silicon nitride or silicon oxynitride.

    Abstract: Disclosed are semiconductor structures and methods of forming them. The structures include field effect transistors (FETs) with different type conductivities in different levels, respectively, of the same fin, wherein the numbers of FETs in the different levels are different. Specifically, in a fin, a first semiconductor layer has source/drain and channel regions for a first and a second transistor and a second semiconductor layer has source/drain and channel regions for a third transistor with a different type conductivity than first and second transistors. A gate is on the top surface and sides of the first semiconductor layer at the channel region of the first transistor. Another gate has a lower portion on the sides of the first semiconductor layer at the channel region of the second transistor and an upper portion on the top surface and sides of the second semiconductor layer at the channel region of the third transistor.

    Abstract: Methods for forming substantially uniform depth trenches and/or semiconductor fins from the trenches are disclosed. Embodiments of the method may include depositing a germanium including layer over a substrate, the substrate including a plurality of sacrificial semiconductor fins, each pair of sacrificial semiconductor fins separated by a sacrificial pillar. Germanium is diffused from the germanium including layer into the plurality of sacrificial semiconductor fins to a defined uniform depth. The germanium including layer is removed, and the plurality of sacrificial semiconductor fins are etched to the defined uniform depth and selective to the substrate, creating a plurality of trenches having a substantially uniform depth. The trenches can be used to epitaxial grow semiconductor fins having substantially uniform height.
