    Abstract: An improved semiconductor structure and methods of fabrication that provide improved transistor contacts in a semiconductor structure are provided. A first block mask is formed over a portion of the semiconductor structure. This first block mask covers at least a portion of at least one source/drain (s/d) contact location. An s/d capping layer is formed over the s/d contact locations that are not covered by the first block mask. This s/d capping layer is comprised of a first capping substance. Then, a second block mask is formed over the semiconductor structure. This second block mask exposes at least one gate location. A gate capping layer, which comprises a second capping substance, is removed from the exposed gate location(s). Then a metal contact layer is deposited, which forms a contact to both the s/d contact location(s) and the gate contact location(s).

    Abstract: Methods for fabricating integrated circuits are provided. In one example, a method for fabricating an integrated circuit includes forming a graphoepitaxy DSA directing confinement well using a sidewall of an etch layer that overlies a semiconductor substrate. The graphoepitaxy DSA directing confinement well is filled with a block copolymer. The block copolymer is phase separated into an etchable phase and an etch resistant phase. The etchable phase is etched while leaving the etch resistant phase substantially in place to define an etch mask with a nanopattern. The nanopattern is transferred to the etch layer.

    Abstract: A method of forming a nanowire device includes forming semiconductor material layers above a semiconductor substrate, forming a gate structure above the semiconductor material layers, forming a first sidewall spacer adjacent to the gate structure and forming a second sidewall spacer adjacent to the first sidewall spacer. The method further includes patterning the semiconductor material layers such that each layer has first and second exposed end surfaces. The gate structure, the first sidewall spacer, and the second sidewall spacer are used in combination as an etch mask during the patterning process. The method further includes removing the first and second sidewall spacers, thereby exposing at least a portion of the patterned semiconductor material layers. The method further includes forming doped extension regions in at least the exposed portions of the patterned semiconductor material layers after removing the first and second sidewall spacers.
