    Abstract: In one aspect, a method of forming a semiconductor device, can comprise forming a first transistor structure and a second transistor structure separated by a trench. The first and the second transistor structures can comprise a plurality of stacked nanosheets forming a channel structure, and a source portion and a drain portion horizontally separated by the channel structure. A first and a second spacer can beformed in the trench at sidewalls of the transistor structures, both protruding above a top surface of the transistor structures. The method can comprise applying a first mask layer including an opening exposing the first spacer at a first source/drain portion of the first transistor structure and covering the second spacer, partially etching the exposed first spacer through the opening, exposing at least parts of a sidewall of the first source/drain portion of the first transistor structure, and removing the mask layer. The method can further comprise depositing a contact material over the transistor structures and the first and second spacer, filling the trench and contacting the first source/drain portion of the first transistor structure, and etching back the contact material layer below a top surface of the second spacer.

    Abstract: An example method includes providing a layer stack in a trench defined by adjacent STI structures and recessing the STI structures adjacent to the layer stack to thereby expose an upper portion of the layer stack, the upper portion comprising at least a channel portion. The method further includes providing one or more protection layers on the upper portion of the layer stack and then further recessing the STI structures selectively to the protection layers and the layer stack, to thereby expose a central portion of the layer stack. And the method includes removing the central portion of the layer stack, resulting in a freestanding upper part and a lower part of the layer stack being physically separated from each other.

    Abstract: The disclosed technology generally relates to semiconductor devices, and more particularly to FinFET transistors. In one aspect, at least three fins are arranged to extend in parallel in a first direction and are laterally separated from each other in a second direction by shallow trench isolation structures having a first fin spacing, where at least a portion of each fin protrudes out from a substrate. At least a portion of each of a first fin and a second fin of the at least three fins vertically protrude to a level higher than an upper surface of the shallow trench isolation structures. A third fin is formed laterally between the first fin and the second fin in the second direction, where the third fin has a non-protruding region which extends vertically to a level below or equal to the upper surface of the shallow trench isolation structures.

    Abstract: A method of forming an internal spacer between nanowires, the method involving: providing a fin comprising a stack of layers of sacrificial material alternated with nanowire material, and selectively removing part of the sacrificial material, thereby forming a recess. The method also involves depositing dielectric material into the recess resulting in dielectric material within the recess and excess dielectric material outside the recess, where a crevice remains in the dielectric material in each recess, and removing the excess dielectric material using a first etchant. The method also involves enlarging the crevices to form a gap using a second etchant such that a remaining dielectric material still covers the sacrificial material and partly covers the nanowire material, and such that outer ends of the nanowire material are accessible; and growing electrode material on the outer ends such that the electrode material from neighboring outer ends merge, thereby covering the gap.

    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a field effect transistor of a non-planar type, comprising providing a substrate having an initially planar front main surface, and providing shallow trench isolation structures in the substrate on the front surface, thereby defining a plurality of fin structures in the substrate between the shallow trench isolation structures. Top surfaces of the shallow trench isolation structures and the fin structures abut on a common planar surface, and sidewalls of the fin structures are fully concealed by the shallow trench isolation structures. The method also includes forming a dummy gate structure over a central portion of the plurality of fin structures on the common planar surface, forming dielectric spacer structures around the dummy gate structure, and removing the dummy gate structure, thereby leaving a gate trench defined by the dielectric spacer structures. Further, the method includes removing an upper portion of at least two shallow trench isolation structures to expose at least a portion of the sidewalls of the fin structures within the gate trench, and forming a final gate stack in the gate trench.

    Abstract: The disclosed technology generally relates to semiconductor devices and methods of forming the same. In one aspect, a method of forming a semiconductor device having a first field-effect transistor (FET) device and a second FET device comprises forming the first and second FET devices from a first stack and a second stack comprising a channel material arranged on a sacrificial material. The method can include forming first spacers at sidewalls of the first and second stacks, and forming a second spacer between the first spacers. After recessing of the sacrificial material and removal of the first spacers, gate structures may be formed, wrapping around the at least partly released channel portions. The gate structure of the first transistor device can be separated from the gate structure of the second transistor device by the second spacer.
