Abstract: Epitaxial oxide plugs are described for imposing strain on a channel region of a proximate channel region of a transistor. The oxide plugs form epitaxial and coherent contact with one or more source and drain regions adjacent to the strained channel region. The epitaxial oxide plugs can be used to either impart strain to an otherwise unstrained channel region (e.g., for a semiconductor body that is unstrained relative to an underlying buffer layer), or to restore, maintain, or increase strain within a channel region of a previously strained semiconductor body. The epitaxial crystalline oxide plugs have a perovskite crystal structure in some embodiments.

Abstract: Gate-all-around integrated circuit structures having adjacent structures for sub-fin electrical contact are described. For example, an integrated circuit structure includes a semiconductor island on a semiconductor substrate. A vertical arrangement of horizontal nanowires is above a fin protruding from the semiconductor substrate. A channel region of the vertical arrangement of horizontal nanowires is electrically isolated from the fin. The fin is electrically coupled to the semiconductor island. A gate stack is over the vertical arrangement of horizontal nanowires.

Abstract: Self-aligned gate endcap (SAGE) architectures with gate-all-around devices above insulator substrates, and methods of fabricating self-aligned gate endcap (SAGE) architectures with gate-all-around devices above insulator substrates, are described. In an example, an integrated circuit structure includes a semiconductor nanowire above an insulator substrate and having a length in a first direction. A gate structure is around the semiconductor nanowire, the gate structure having a first end opposite a second end in a second direction, orthogonal to the first direction. A pair of gate endcap isolation structures is included. The first of the pair of gate endcap isolation structures is directly adjacent to the first end of the gate structure, and the second of the pair of gate endcap isolation structures is directly adjacent to the second end of the gate structure.

Abstract: Gate-all-around integrated circuit structures having depopulated channel structures, and methods of fabricating gate-all-around integrated circuit structures having depopulated channel structures using a bottom-up approach, are described. For example, integrated circuit structure includes a first vertical arrangement of nanowires and a second vertical arrangement of nanowires above a substrate. The first vertical arrangement of nanowires has a greater number of nanowires than the second vertical arrangement of nanowires. The first vertical arrangement of nanowires has an uppermost nanowire co-planar with an uppermost nanowire of the second vertical arrangement of nanowires. The first vertical arrangement of nanowires has a bottommost nanowire below a bottommost nanowire of the second vertical arrangement of nanowires. A first gate stack is over the first vertical arrangement of nanowires. A second gate stack is over the second vertical arrangement of nanowires.
