Abstract: Structures and static random access memory bit cells including complementary field effect transistors and methods of forming such structures and bit cells. A first complementary field-effect transistor has a first storage nanosheet transistor, a second storage nanosheet transistor stacked over the first storage nanosheet transistor, and a first gate electrode shared by the first storage nanosheet transistor and the second storage nanosheet transistor. A second complementary field-effect transistor has a third storage nanosheet transistor, a fourth storage nanosheet transistor stacked over the third storage nanosheet transistor, and a second gate electrode shared by the third storage nanosheet transistor and the fourth storage nanosheet transistor. The first gate electrode and the second gate electrode are arranged in a spaced arrangement along a longitudinal axis. All gate electrodes of the SRAM bitcell may be arranged in a 1CPP layout.

Abstract: An integrated circuit product includes a first layer of insulating material including a first insulating material. The first layer of insulating material is positioned above a device layer of a semiconductor substrate. The first layer of insulating material has a lowermost surface positioned above an uppermost surface of a gate of a transistor in a device layer of a semiconductor substrate. The device layer includes transistors. A metallization blocking structure is positioned in an opening in the first layer of insulating material. The metallization blocking structure has a lowermost surface above the uppermost surface of the gate and includes a second insulating material that is different from the first insulating material. The metallization blocking structure includes a second insulating material that is different from the first insulating material. A metallization trench is defined in the first layer of insulating material on opposite sides of the metallization blocking structure. A conductive metallization line includes first and second portions positioned in the metallization trench on opposite sides of the metallization blocking structure. The conductive metallization line has a long axis extending along the first and second portions.

Abstract: Structures with altered crystallinity and methods associated with forming such structures. A semiconductor layer has a first region containing polycrystalline semiconductor material, defects, and atoms of an inert gas species. Multiple fins are arranged over the first region of the semiconductor layer. The structure may be formed by implanting the semiconductor layer with inert gas ions to modify a crystal structure of the semiconductor layer in the first region and a second region between the first region and a top surface of the semiconductor layer. An annealing process is used to convert the first region of the semiconductor layer to a polycrystalline state and the second region of the semiconductor layer to a monocrystalline state. The fins are patterned from the second region of the semiconductor layer and another semiconductor layer epitaxially grown over the second region of the semiconductor layer.

Abstract: In a self-aligned fin cut process for fabricating integrated circuits, a sacrificial gate or an epitaxially-formed source/drain region is used as an etch mask in conjunction with a fin cut etch step to remove unwanted portions of the fins. The process eliminates use of a lithographically-defined etch mask to cut the fins, which enables precise and accurate alignment of the fin cut.

Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) includes an active area including at least one active fin-type field effect transistor (FinFET), and a trench isolation adjacent to the active area. At least one inactive gate is positioned over the trench isolation. A vertically extending resistor body is positioned adjacent the at least one inactive gate over the trench isolation. A lower end of the resistor is below an upper surface of the trench isolation. The resistor reduces interconnect layer thickness to improve yield, and significantly reduces resistor footprint to enable scaling.
