Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to formation of fins with different active channel heights in a tri-gate or a Fin-FET device. In an embodiment, at least two fins are formed on a front side of the substrate. A gate structure extends over a top surface and a pair of sidewalls of at least a portion of the fins. In an embodiment, the substrate is thinned to expose the bottom surface of the fins. Next, backside etching may be performed on each fin to form active channel regions. The fins may be recessed to different depths, forming active channel regions with differing heights.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are based on extending a nanocomb transistor architecture to implement gate all around, meaning that a gate enclosure of at least a gate dielectric material, or both a gate dielectric material and a gate electrode material, is provided on all sides of each nanoribbon of a vertical stack of lateral nanoribbons of a nanocomb transistor arrangement. In particular, extension of a nanocomb transistor architecture to implement gate all around, proposed herein, involves use of two dielectric wall materials which are etch-selective with respect to one another, instead of using only a single dielectric wall material used to implement conventional nanocomb transistor arrangements. Nanocomb-based transistor arrangements implementing gate all around as described herein may provide improvements in terms of the short-channel effects of conventional nanocomb transistor arrangements.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for forming increasing channel region tensile strain in n-MOS devices. In some cases, increased channel region tensile strain can be achieved via S/D material engineering that deliberately introduces dislocations in one or both of the S/D regions to produce tensile strain in the adjacent channel region. In some such cases, the S/D material engineering to create desired dislocations may include using a lattice mismatched epitaxial S/D film adjacent to the channel region. Numerous material schemes for achieving multiple dislocations in one or both S/D regions will be apparent in light of this disclosure. In some cases, a cap layer can be formed on an S/D region to reduce contact resistance, such that the cap layer is an intervening layer between the S/D region and S/D contact. The cap layer includes different material than the underlying S/D region and/or a higher dopant concentration to reduce contact resistance.
