    Abstract: Integrated circuits and methods of forming integrated circuits are provided. An integrated circuit includes a gate electrode structure overlying a base substrate. The gate electrode structure includes a gate electrode, with a cap disposed over the gate electrode and sidewall spacers disposed adjacent to sidewalls of the gate electrode structure. A source and drain region are formed in the base substrate aligned with the gate electrode structure. A first dielectric layer is disposed adjacent to the sidewall spacers. The sidewall spacers and the cap have recessed surfaces below a top surface of the first dielectric layer, and a protecting layer is disposed over the recessed surfaces. A second dielectric layer is disposed over the first dielectric layer and the protecting layer. Electrical interconnects are disposed through the first dielectric layer and the second dielectric layer, and the electrical interconnects are in electrical communication with the respective source and drain regions.

    Abstract: Fin structures and methods of manufacturing fin structures using a dual-material sidewall image transfer mask to enable patterning of sub-lithographic features is disclosed. The method of forming a plurality of fins includes forming a first set of fins having a first pitch. The method further includes forming an adjacent fin to the first set of fins. The adjacent fin and a nearest fin of the first set of fins have a second pitch larger than the first pitch. The first set of fins and the adjacent fin are sub-lithographic features formed using a sidewall image transfer process.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a first device region and second device region of opposite polarity. Each device region includes at least a transistor device and associated epitaxy. A high-k barrier is formed to overlay the first device region epitaxy only. The high-k barrier may include a substantially horizontal portion formed upon a top surface of the first device region epitaxy and a substantially vertical portion formed upon an outer surface of the first device region epitaxy. The substantially vertical portion may partially isolate the first device region from the second device region.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method of forming semiconductor structure. The method includes forming a set of device features on top of a substrate; forming a first dielectric layer directly on top of the set of device features and on top of the substrate, thereby creating a height profile of the first dielectric layer measured from a top surface of the substrate, the height profile being associated with a pattern of an insulating structure that fully surrounds the set of device features; and forming a second dielectric layer in areas that are defined by the pattern to create the insulating structure. A structure formed by the method is also disclosed.

    Abstract: A dielectric metal compound liner can be deposited on a semiconductor fin prior to formation of a disposable gate structure. The dielectric metal compound liner protects the semiconductor fin during the pattering of the disposable gate structure and a gate spacer. The dielectric metal compound liner can be removed prior to formation of source and drain regions and a replacement gate structure. Alternately, a dielectric metal compound liner can be deposited on a semiconductor fin and a gate stack, and can be removed after formation of a gate spacer. Further, a dielectric metal compound liner can be deposited on a semiconductor fin and a disposable gate structure, and can be removed after formation of a gate spacer and removal of the disposable gate structure. The dielectric metal compound liner can protect the semiconductor fin during formation of the gate spacer in each embodiment.
