    摘要: A method of forming a semiconductor device may include forming a fin structure extending from a substrate. The fin structure may include first and second source/drain regions and a channel region therebetween, and the first and second source/drain regions may extend a greater distance from the substrate than the channel region. A gate insulating layer may be formed on the channel region, and a gate electrode may be formed on the gate insulating layer so that the gate insulating layer is between the gate electrode and the channel region. Related devices are also discussed.

    摘要: A field effect transistor includes a vertical fin-shaped semiconductor active region having an upper surface and a pair of opposing sidewalls on a substrate, and an insulated gate electrode on the upper surface and opposing sidewalls of the fin-shaped active region. The insulated gate electrode includes a capping gate insulation layer having a thickness sufficient to preclude formation of an inversion-layer channel along the upper surface of the fin-shaped active region when the transistor is disposed in a forward on-state mode of operation. Related fabrication methods are also discussed.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention include heterogeneous substrates, integrated circuits formed on such heterogeneous substrates, and methods of forming such substrates and integrated circuits. The heterogeneous substrates according to certain embodiments of the present invention include a first Group IV semiconductor layer (e.g., silicon), a second Group IV pattern (e.g., a silicon-germanium pattern) that includes a plurality of individual elements on the first Group IV semiconductor layer, and a third Group IV semiconductor layer (e.g., a silicon epitaxial layer) on the second Group IV pattern and on a plurality of exposed portions of the first Group IV semiconductor layer. The second Group IV pattern may be removed in embodiments of the present invention. In these and other embodiments of the present invention, the third Group IV semiconductor layer may be planarized.

    摘要: A method of forming a fin field effect transistor on a semiconductor substrate includes forming an active region in the substrate, forming an epitaxial layer on the active region, and removing a portion of the epitaxial layer to form a vertical fin on the active region. The fin has a width that is narrower than a width of the active region. Removing a portion of the epitaxial layer may include oxidizing a surface of the epitaxial layer and then removing the oxidized surface of the epitaxial layer to decrease the width of the fin. The epitaxial layer may be doped in situ before removing a portion of the epitaxial layer. The method further includes forming a conductive layer on a top surface and on sidewalls of the fin. Related transistors are also discussed.
