Abstract: A semiconductor layer is etched into a plurality of fin structures. A first nitridation process is performed to side surfaces of the fin structures. The first nitridation process forms a first oxynitride layer at the side surfaces of the fin structures. A liner oxide layer is formed on the first oxynitride layer. An isolation structure is formed around the fin structures after the forming of the liner oxide layer.

Abstract: Examples of an integrated circuit with an interconnect structure that includes a buried interconnect conductor and a method for forming the integrated circuit are provided herein. In some examples, the method includes receiving a substrate that includes a plurality of fins extending from a remainder of the substrate. A spacer layer is formed between the plurality of fins, and a buried interconnect conductor is formed on the spacer layer between the plurality of fins. A set of capping layers is formed on the buried interconnect conductor between the plurality of fins. A contact recess is etched through the set of capping layers that exposes the buried interconnect conductor, and a contact is formed in the contact recess that is electrically coupled to the buried interconnect conductor.

Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a substrate, a first semiconductor fin and a second semiconductor fin, a gate structure, a shallow trench isolation (STI) oxide, and a dielectric layer. The first semiconductor fin and a second semiconductor fin extend upwardly from the substrate. The gate structure extends across the first and second semiconductor fins. The shallow trench isolation (STI) oxide has a horizontal portion extending along a top surface of the substrate and vertical portions extending upwardly from the horizontal portion along the first and second semiconductor fins. The dielectric layer has a horizontal portion extending along a top surface of the horizontal portion of the STI oxide and vertical portions extending upwardly from the horizontal portion of the dielectric layer to a position higher than top ends of the vertical portions of the STI oxide.

Abstract: A method includes forming a mandrel structure over a semiconductor substrate. A first spacer and a second spacer are formed alongside the mandrel structure. A mask layer is over a first portion of the first spacer, in which a second portion of the first spacer and the second spacer are exposed from the mask layer. The exposed second spacer is etched, in which etching the exposed second spacer is performed such that a polymer is formed over a top surface of the exposed second portion of the first spacer. The mask layer, the polymer, and the mandrel structure are removed. The semiconductor substrate is patterned using the first spacer.

Abstract: A method of forming a fin field effect transistor (finFET) on a substrate includes forming a fin structure on the substrate and forming a shallow trench isolation (STI) region on the substrate. First and second fin portions of the fin structure extend above a top surface of the STI region. The method further includes oxidizing the first fin portion to convert a first material of the first fin portion to a second material. The second material is different from the first material of the first fin portion and a material of the second fin portion. The method further includes forming an oxide layer on the oxidized first fin portion and the second fin portion and forming first and second polysilicon structures on the oxide layer.
