Abstract:
A group III-V material device may have a capping layer on a barrier region, which may provide a high quality interface for a high-k gate dielectric. This may improve the performance of the device by reducing gate leakage and preserve the high-mobility properties of the quantum well channel region of the device.

Abstract:
A system or apparatus including an N-type transistor structure including a gate electrode formed on a substrate and source and drain regions formed in the substrate; a contact to the source region; and a pinning layer disposed between the source region and the first contact and defining an interface between the pinning layer and the source region, wherein the pinning layer has donor-type surface states in a conduction band. A method including forming a transistor structure including a gate electrode on a substrate and source and drain regions formed in the substrate; depositing a pinning layer having donor-type surface states on the source and drain regions such that an interface is defined between the pinning layer and the respective one of the source and drain regions; and forming a first contact to the source region and a second contact to the drain region.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention provide a substrate with a device layer having different crystal orientations in different portions or areas. One layer of material having one crystal orientation may be bonded to a substrate having another crystal orientation. Then, a portion of the layer may be amorphized and annealed to be re-crystallized to the crystal orientation of the substrate. N- and P-type devices, such as tri-gate devices, may both be formed on the substrate, with each type of device having the proper crystal orientation along the top and side surfaces of the claimed region for optimum performance. For instance, a substrate may have a portion with a crystal orientation along a top and sidewalls of an NMOS tri-gate transistor and another portion having a crystal orientation along parallel top and sidewall surfaces of a PMOS tri-gate transistor.
Abstract:
A method to form an ultra-shallow junction is described. In one embodiment, a replacement gate process is utilized to enable the overlap of a gate electrode over the regions of a semiconductor substrate where tip extensions reside. In another embodiment, a sacrificial spacer is utilized in conjunction with the replacement gate process. In one embodiment, an initial gate electrode is formed with a gate length smaller than the desired final gate length and is subsequently replaced with an expanded gate electrode having the desired gate length.
Abstract:
Embodiments herein describe techniques for a thin-film transistor (TFT) above a substrate. The transistor includes a contact electrode having a conductive material above the substrate, an epitaxial layer above the contact electrode, and a channel layer including a channel material above the epitaxial layer and above the contact electrode. The channel layer is in contact at least partially with the epitaxial layer. A conduction band of the channel material and a conduction band of a material of the epitaxial layer are substantially aligned with an energy level of the conductive material of the contact electrode. A bandgap of the material of the epitaxial layer is smaller than a bandgap of the channel material. Furthermore, a gate electrode is above the channel layer, and separated from the channel layer by a gate dielectric layer. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

A method is described. The method includes forming bit line structures above bitline contact structures, forming a first material on top surfaces and sidewall surfaces of the bit line structures to establish step structures for via formation, and forming a second material on the top surface of the first material. Capacitor landing structures are formed by patterning the second material.
Abstract:
A method for fabricating a field-effect transistor with a gate completely wrapping around a channel region is described. Ion implantation is used to make the oxide beneath the channel region of the transistor more etchable, thereby allowing the oxide to be removed below the channel region. Atomic layer deposition is used to form a gate dielectric and a metal gate entirely around the channel region once the oxide is removed below the channel region.
