摘要: A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes forming a plurality of interconnects spaced apart from each other on a substrate. The plurality of interconnects each have an upper portion and a lower portion. In the method, a plurality of spacers are formed on sides of the upper portions of the plurality of interconnects. A space is formed between adjacent spacers of the plurality of spacers on adjacent interconnects of the plurality of interconnects. The method also includes forming a dielectric layer on the plurality of spacers and on the plurality of interconnects. The dielectric layer fills in the space between the adjacent spacers of the plurality of spacers, which blocks formation of the dielectric layer in an area below the space. The area below the space is between lower portions of the adjacent interconnects.

摘要: A method includes forming a stacked nanosheet structure on a semiconductor substrate. The stacked nanosheet structure includes a plurality of alternating sacrificial nanosheets and channel nanosheets. The method further includes forming a dummy gate structure about the stacked nanosheet structure. The method also includes removing outer surface regions of the sacrificial nanosheets to define an at least partial recess at each outer surface region and forming an inner spacer within each of the at least partial recesses. The method also includes forming an isolation layer adjacent at least outer surface regions of at least the channel nanosheets. The method further includes forming a source region and a drain region about the stacked nanosheet structure. The method also includes removing the sacrificial nanosheets through an etching process whereby the isolation layer and the inner spacers isolates the source and drain regions from the etching process.

摘要: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to techniques for providing an novel field effect transistor (FET) architecture that includes a center fin region and one or more vertically stacked nanosheets. In a non-limiting embodiment of the invention, a non-planar channel region is formed having a first semiconductor layer, a second semiconductor layer, and a fin-shaped bridge layer between the first semiconductor layer and the second semiconductor layer. Forming the non-planar channel region can include forming a nanosheet stack over a substrate, forming a trench by removing a portion of the nanosheet stack, and forming a third semiconductor layer in the trench. Outer surfaces of the first semiconductor layer, the second semiconductor layer, and the fin-shaped bridge region define an effective channel width of the non-planar channel region.
