    摘要: Wrap-around contact structures for semiconductor nanowires and nanoribbons, and methods of fabricating wrap-around contact structures for semiconductor nanowires and nanoribbons, are described. In an example, an integrated circuit structure includes a semiconductor nanowire above a first portion of a semiconductor sub-fin. A gate structure surrounds a channel portion of the semiconductor nanowire. A source or drain region is at a first side of the gate structure, the source or drain region including an epitaxial structure on a second portion of the semiconductor sub-fin, the epitaxial structure having substantially vertical sidewalls in alignment with the second portion of the semiconductor sub-fin. A conductive contact structure is along sidewalls of the second portion of the semiconductor sub-fin and along the substantially vertical sidewalls of the epitaxial structure.

    摘要: Wrap-around contact structures for semiconductor fins, and methods of fabricating wrap-around contact structures for semiconductor fins, are described. In an example, an integrated circuit structure includes a semiconductor fin having a first portion protruding through a trench isolation region. A gate structure is over a top and along sidewalls of the first portion of the semiconductor fin. A source or drain region is at a first side of the gate structure, the source or drain region including an epitaxial structure on a second portion of the semiconductor fin. The epitaxial structure has substantially vertical sidewalls in alignment with the second portion of the semiconductor fin. A conductive contact structure is along sidewalls of the second portion of the semiconductor fin and along the substantially vertical sidewalls of the epitaxial structure.

    摘要: Solid assemblies having a composite dielectric spacer and processes for fabricating the solid assemblies are provided. The composite dielectric spacer can include, in some embodiments, a first dielectric layer and a second dielectric layer having a mutual interface. The composite dielectric spacer can separate a contact member from a conductive interconnect member, thus reducing the capacitance between such members with respect to solid assemblies that include one of first dielectric layer or the second dielectric layer. The composite dielectric spacer can permit maintaining the real estate of an interface between the conductive interconnect and a trench contact member that has an interface with a carrier-doped epitaxial layer embodying or constituting a source contact region or a drain contact region of a field effect transistor. The trench contact member can form another interface with the conductive interconnect member, providing a satisfactory contact resistance therebetween.

    摘要: A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor body that includes a surface and a first region and a second region formed in the semiconductor body, where a channel region is located between the first region and the second region, and where the second region includes a sub-region that includes a blanket dopant; a first conductive contact on the surface of the semiconductor body above the first region; a semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) at a bottom of the first region; and a pocket channel dopant (PCD) formed in the channel, where a first portion of the PCD is adjacent to a first portion of the SOI; and a second conductive contact on a bottom portion of the sub-region, where a first portion of the second conductive contact is adjacent to a second portion of the SOI, and a second portion of the second conductive contact is adjacent to a second portion of the PCD.

    摘要: Embodiments herein describe techniques for an integrated circuit (IC). The IC may include a lower device layer that includes a first transistor structure, an upper device layer above the lower device layer including a second transistor structure, and an isolation wall that extends between the upper device layer and the lower device layer. The isolation wall may be in contact with an edge of a first gate structure of the first transistor structure and an edge of a second gate structure of the second transistor structure, and may have a first width to the edge of the first gate structure at the lower device layer, and a second width to the edge of the second gate structure at the upper device layer. The first width may be different from the second width. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
