    摘要: Disclosed is a method of forming a pair of transistors by epitaxially growing a pair of silicon fins on a silicon germanium fin on a bulk wafer. In one embodiment a gate conductor between the fins is isolated from a conductor layer on the bulk wafer so a front gate may be formed. In another embodiment a gate conductor between the fins contacts a conductor layer on the bulk wafer so a back gate may be formed. In yet another embodiment both of the previous structures are simultaneously formed on the same bulk wafer. The method allow the pairs of transistors to be formed with a variety of features.

    摘要: Disclosed are embodiments of field effect transistors (FETs) having suppressed sub-threshold corner leakage, as a function of channel material band-edge modulation. Specifically, the FET channel region is formed with different materials at the edges as compared to the center. Different materials with different band structures and specific locations of those materials are selected in order to effectively raise the threshold voltage (Vt) at the edges of the channel region relative to the Vt at the center of the channel region and, thereby to suppress of sub-threshold corner leakage. Also disclosed are design structures for such FETs and method embodiments for forming such FETs.

    摘要: Disclosed are embodiments of a semiconductor structure that includes one or more multi-gate field effect transistors (MUGFETs), each MUGFET having one or more semiconductor fins. In the embodiments, dopant implant region is incorporated into the upper portion of the channel region of a semiconductor fin in order to selectively modify (i.e., decrease or increase) the threshold voltage within that upper portion relative to the threshold voltage in the lower portion and, thereby to selectively modify (i.e., decrease or increase) device drive current. In the case of a multiple semiconductor fins, the use of implant regions, the dopant conductivity type in the implant regions and/or the sizes of the implant regions can be varied from fin to fin within a multi-fin MUGFET or between different single and/or multi-fin MUGFETs so that individual device drive current can be optimized. Also disclosed herein are embodiments of a method of forming the semiconductor structure.
