摘要: Structures with altered crystallinity and methods associated with forming such structures. A semiconductor layer has a first region containing polycrystalline semiconductor material, defects, and atoms of an inert gas species. Multiple fins are arranged over the first region of the semiconductor layer. The structure may be formed by implanting the semiconductor layer with inert gas ions to modify a crystal structure of the semiconductor layer in the first region and a second region between the first region and a top surface of the semiconductor layer. An annealing process is used to convert the first region of the semiconductor layer to a polycrystalline state and the second region of the semiconductor layer to a monocrystalline state. The fins are patterned from the second region of the semiconductor layer and another semiconductor layer epitaxially grown over the second region of the semiconductor layer.

摘要: Structures for a field-effect transistor and methods of forming a structure for a field-effect transistor. A sacrificial layer is epitaxially grown on a bulk semiconductor substrate, a plurality of epitaxial semiconductor layers are epitaxially grown over the sacrificial layer, and the sacrificial layer and the plurality of epitaxial semiconductor layers are patterned to form a fin. A first portion of the first sacrificial layer is removed to form a first cavity arranged between the plurality of epitaxial semiconductor layers and the bulk semiconductor substrate, and a first dielectric material is deposited in the first cavity. A second portion of the first sacrificial layer, which is located adjacent to the first dielectric material in the first cavity, is removed to form a second cavity between the first fin and the bulk semiconductor substrate. A second dielectric material is deposited in the second cavity.

摘要: Methods of forming a field-effect transistor and structures for a field effect-transistor. A sidewall spacer is formed adjacent to a sidewall of a gate structure of the field-effect transistor and a dielectric cap is formed over the gate structure and the sidewall spacer. A cut is formed that extends through the dielectric cap, the gate structure, and the sidewall spacer. After forming the cut, the sidewall spacer is removed from beneath the dielectric cap to define a cavity, and a dielectric material is deposited in the cut and in the cavity. The dielectric material encapsulates a portion of the cavity to define an airgap spacer.

摘要: Disclosed are structures including a gate-all-around field effect transistor (GAAFET) with air-gap inner spacers. The GAAFET includes a stack of nanoshapes that extend laterally between source/drain regions, a gate that wraps around a center portion of each nanoshape, and a gate sidewall spacer on external sidewalls of the gate. The GAAFET also includes air-gap inner spacers between the gate and the source/drain regions. Each air-gap inner spacer includes: two vertical sections within the gate sidewall spacer on opposing sides of the stack and adjacent to a source/drain region; and horizontal sections below the nanoshapes and extending laterally between the vertical sections. Also discloses are methods of forming the structures and the method include forming preliminary inner spacers in inner spacer cavities prior to source/drain region formation. After source/drain regions are formed, the preliminary inner spacers are removed and the cavities are sealed off, thereby forming the air-gap inner spacers.

摘要: Structures for a field-effect transistor and methods of forming structures for a field-effect transistor. A layer stack includes nanosheet channel layers arranged to alternate with sacrificial layers. First and second gate structures are formed that extend across the layer stack and that are separated by a first gap. First and sidewall spacers are formed over the layer stack and within the first gap respectively adjacent to the first and second gate structures, and the layer stack is subsequently etched to form first and second body features that are separated by a second gap. The sacrificial layers are recessed relative to the nanosheet channel layers to define indents in the first and second body features, and the first and second sidewall spacers are subsequently removed. After removing the first and second sidewall spacers, a conformal layer is deposited in the second gap that fills the indents to define inner spacers.

摘要: Methods form devices by creating openings in sacrificial gates between nanosheet stacks (alternating layers of a first material and channel structures), forming spacers in the openings, and removing the sacrificial gates to leave the spacers. The first material is then removed from between the channel structures. A first work function metal is formed around and between the channel structures. Next, first stacks (of the stacks) are protected with a mask to leave second stacks (of the stacks) exposed. Then, the first work function metal is removed from the second stacks while the first stacks are protected by the mask and the spacers. Subsequently, a second work function metal is formed around and between the channel structures of the second stacks. A gate material is then formed over the first work function metal and the second work function metal.
