    Abstract: A first semiconductor structure includes a bulk silicon substrate and one or more original silicon fins coupled to the bulk silicon substrate. A dielectric material is conformally blanketed over the first semiconductor structure and recessed to create a dielectric layer. A first cladding material is deposited adjacent to the original silicon fin, after which the original silicon fin is removed to form a second semiconductor structure having two fins that are electrically isolated from the bulk silicon substrate. A second cladding material is patterned adjacent to the first cladding material to form a third semiconductor structure having four fins that are electrically isolated from the bulk silicon substrate.

    Abstract: Methods for fabricating integrated circuits and FinFET transistors on bulk substrates with active channel regions isolated from the substrate with an insulator are provided. In accordance with an exemplary embodiment, a method for fabricating an integrated circuit includes forming fin structures overlying a semiconductor substrate, wherein each fin structure includes a channel material and extends in a longitudinal direction from a first end to a second end. The method deposits an anchoring material over the fin structures. The method includes recessing the anchoring material to form trenches adjacent the fin structures, wherein the anchoring material remains in contact with the first end and the second end of each fin structure. Further, the method forms a void between the semiconductor substrate and the channel material of each fin structure with a gate length independent etching process, wherein the channel material of each fin structure is suspended over the semiconductor substrate.

    Abstract: Approaches for isolating source and drain regions in an integrated circuit (IC) device (e.g., a fin field effect transistor (finFET)) are provided. Specifically, the FinFET device comprises a gate structure formed over a finned substrate; an isolation oxide beneath an active fin channel of the gate structure; an embedded source and a drain (S/D) formed adjacent the gate structure and the isolation oxide; and an epitaxial (epi) bottom region of the embedded S/D, the epi bottom region counter doped to a polarity of the embedded S/D. The device further includes a set of implanted regions implanted beneath the epi bottom region, wherein the set of implanted regions may be doped and the epi bottom region undoped. In one approach, the embedded S/D comprises P++ doped Silicon Germanium (SiGe) for a p-channel metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (PMOSFET) and N++ Silicon Nitride (SiN) for a n-channel metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (NMOSFET).

    Abstract: Aspects of the present invention relate to an approach for forming an integrated circuit having a set of fins on a silicon substrate, with the set of fins being formed according to a predetermined pattern. In situ doping of the fins with an N-type dopant prior to deposition of an epitaxial layer minimizes punch through leakage whilst an epitaxial depositional process applies a cladding layer on the doped fins, the deposition resulting in a multigate device having improved device isolation.
