Abstract: Integrated circuit structures having metal gates with tapered plugs, and methods of fabricating integrated circuit structures having metal gates with tapered plugs, are described. For example, includes a fin having a portion protruding above a shallow trench isolation (STI) structure. A gate dielectric material layer is over the protruding portion of the fin and over the STI structure. A conductive gate layer is over the gate dielectric material layer. A conductive gate fill material is over the conductive gate layer. A dielectric gate plug is laterally spaced apart from the fin. The dielectric gate plug is on the STI structure, and the dielectric gate plug has sides tapered outwardly from a top of the dielectric gate plug to a bottom of the dielectric gate plug.

Abstract: Integrated circuit structures having cut metal gates, and methods of fabricating integrated circuit structures having cut metal gates, are described. For example, an integrated circuit structure includes a fin having a portion protruding above a shallow trench isolation (STI) structure. A gate dielectric material layer is over the protruding portion of the fin and over the STI structure. A conductive gate layer is over the gate dielectric material layer. A conductive gate fill material is over the conductive gate layer. A dielectric gate plug is laterally spaced apart from the fin, the dielectric gate plug on but not through the STI structure. The gate dielectric material layer and the conductive gate layer are not along sides of the dielectric gate plug, and the conductive gate fill material is in contact with the sides of the dielectric gate plug.

In an example, an integrated circuit structure includes a vertical arrangement of horizontal nanowires. A gate stack is around the vertical arrangement of horizontal nanowires. A first epitaxial source or drain structure is at a first end of the vertical arrangement of horizontal nanowires. A second epitaxial source or drain structure is at a second end of the vertical arrangement of horizontal nanowires.

Abstract: Gate-all-around integrated circuit structures having epitaxial source or drain region lateral isolation are described. For example, an integrated circuit structure includes a first vertical arrangement of nanowires and a second vertical arrangement of nanowires. A gate stack is over the first and second vertical arrangements of nanowires. First epitaxial source or drain structures are at ends of the first vertical arrangement of nanowires. Second epitaxial source or drain structures are at ends of the second vertical arrangement of nanowires. An intervening dielectric structure is between neighboring ones of the first epitaxial source or drain structures and the second epitaxial source or drain structures. The intervening dielectric structure has a top surface co-planar with a top surface of the gate structure.
