Abstract: Embodiments are generally directed to a semiconductor device with released source and drain. An embodiment of a method includes etching a buffer layer of a semiconductor device to form a gate trench under a gate channel portion of a channel layer of the device; filling the gate trench with an oxide material to form an oxide isolation layer; etching one or more source/drain contact trenches in an interlayer dielectric (ILD) layer for source and drain regions of the device; etching the oxide isolation layer within the one or more source/drain contact trenches to form one or more cavities under a source/drain channel in the source and drain regions, wherein the etching of each contact trench is to expose all sides of the source/drain channel; and depositing contact metal in the one or more contact trenches, including depositing the contact metal in the cavities under the source/drain channel.

Abstract: Monolithic FETs including a majority carrier channel in a first high carrier mobility semiconductor material disposed over a substrate. While a mask, such as a gate stack or sacrificial gate stack, is covering a lateral channel region, a spacer of a high carrier mobility semiconductor material is overgrown, for example wrapping around a dielectric lateral spacer, to increase effective spacing between the transistor source and drain without a concomitant increase in transistor footprint. Source/drain regions couple electrically to the lateral channel region through the high-mobility semiconductor spacer, which may be substantially undoped (i.e. intrinsic). With effective channel length for a given lateral gate dimension increased, the transistor footprint for a given off-state leakage may be reduced or off-state source/drain leakage for a given transistor footprint may be reduced, for example.

Abstract: An apparatus is described. The apparatus includes a FINFET device having a channel. The channel is composed of a first semiconductor material that is epitaxially grown on a subfin structure beneath the channel. The subfin structure is composed of a second semiconductor material that is different than the first semiconductor material. The subfm structure is epitaxially grown on a substrate composed of a third semiconductor material that is different than the first and second semiconductor materials. The subfin structure has a doped region to substantially impede leakage currents between the channel and the substrate.

Abstract: Crystalline heterostructures including an elevated fin structure extending from a sub-fin structure over a substrate. Devices, such as III-V transistors, may be formed on the raised fin structures while silicon-based devices (e.g., transistors) may be formed in other regions of the silicon substrate. A sub-fin isolation material localized to a transistor channel region of the fin structure may reduce source-to-drain leakage through the sub-fin, improving electrical isolation between source and drain ends of the fin structure. Subsequent to heteroepitaxially forming the fin structure, a portion of the sub-fin may be laterally etched to undercut the fin. The undercut is backfilled with sub-fin isolation material. A gate stack is formed over the fin. Formation of the sub-fin isolation material may be integrated into a self-aligned gate stack replacement process.
