Abstract: Shallow trench isolation structures are provided for use with UTBB (ultra-thin body and buried oxide) semiconductor substrates, which prevent defect mechanisms from occurring, such as the formation of electrical shorts between exposed portions of silicon layers on the sidewalls of shallow trench of a UTBB substrate, in instances when trench fill material of the shallow trench is subsequently etched away and recessed below an upper surface of the UTBB substrate.

Abstract: After formation of gate structures over semiconductor fins and prior to formation of raised active regions, a directional ion beam is employed to form a dielectric material portion on end walls of semiconductor fins that are perpendicular to the lengthwise direction of the semiconductor fins. The angle of the directional ion beam is selected to be with a vertical plane including the lengthwise direction of the semiconductor fins, thereby avoiding formation of the dielectric material portion on lengthwise sidewalls of the semiconductor fins. Selective epitaxy of semiconductor material is performed to grow raised active regions from sidewall surfaces of the semiconductor fins. Optionally, horizontal portions of the dielectric material portion may be removed prior to the selective epitaxy process. Further, the dielectric material portion may optionally be removed after the selective epitaxy process.

Abstract: A semiconductor structure is provided that includes a semiconductor on insulator (SOI) substrate comprising a bottom semiconductor layer, an epitaxial semiconductor layer present on the bottom semiconductor layer, a buried insulator layer present on the epitaxial semiconductor layer, and a top semiconductor layer present on the buried insulator layer. A deep trench moat (DTMOAT) is disposed in the SOI substrate and has a bottom surface contacting a dopant region of the bottom semiconductor layer. A moat contact electrically connecting the DTMOAT to the epitaxial semiconductor layer of the SOI substrate. Charges accumulated in the DTMOAT can be discharged through the heavily doped epitaxial semiconductor layer to ground, thus preventing the DTMOAT failure caused by the process-induced charge accumulation.

Abstract: A semiconductor structure including semiconductor fins, a gate over a middle portion of the semiconductor fins, and faceted semiconductor regions outside of the gate separated from gaps may be formed. The semiconductor structure may be formed by forming fins on a semiconductor substrate where each fin has a pair of sidewalls aligned parallel to the length of the fin, growing dummy semiconductor regions on the sidewalls of the fins, forming a sacrificial gate that covers a center portion of the fins and the dummy semiconductor regions, removing portions of the dummy semiconductor regions not covered by the sacrificial gate, and growing faceted semiconductor regions on the sidewalls of the portions of the fins not covered by the sacrificial gate. The faceted semiconductor regions may intersect to form gaps between the faceted semiconductor regions and the gate.
