Abstract: Integrated circuit (IC) structures comprising transistors with metal chalcogenide channel material synthesized on a workpiece comprising a Group IV crystal. Prior to synthesis of the metal chalcogenide material, a passivation material is formed over the Group IV crystal to limit exposure of the substrate to the growth precursor gas(es) and thereby reduce a quantity of chalcogen species subsequently degassed from the workpiece. The passivation material may be applied to the front side, back side, and/or edge of a workpiece. The passivation material may be sacrificial or retained as a permanent feature of an IC structure. The passivation material may be advantageously amorphous and/or a compound comprising at least one of a metal or nitrogen that is good diffusion barrier and thermally stable at the metal chalcogenide synthesis temperatures.

Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms for forming a gate dielectric structure and source or drain (S/D) structures on a monolayer channel structure of a transistor. In an embodiment, the channel structure comprises a two-dimensional (2D) layer of a transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) material. During fabrication of the transistor structure, a layer of a dielectric material is deposited on the channel structure, wherein the dielectric material is suitable to provide a reaction, with a plasma, to produce a conductive material. While a first portion of the dielectric material is covered by a patterned structure, a second portion of the dielectric material is exposed to a plasma treatment to form a source or dielectric (S/D) electrode structure that adjoins the first portion. In another embodiment, the dielectric material is an oxide of a Group V-VI transition metal.

Abstract: A transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) monolayer grown on a growth substrate is directly transferred to a target substrate. Eliminating the use of a carrier wafer in the TMD monolayer transfer process reduces the number of transfers endured by the TMD monolayer from two to one, which can result in less damage to the TMD monolayer. After a TMD monolayer is grown on a growth layer, a protective layer is formed on the TMD monolayer. The protective layer is bonded to the target substrate by a diffusion bonding layer. The direct transfer of TMD monolayers can be repeated to create a stack of TMD monolayers. A stack of TMD monolayers can be used in a field effect transistor, such as a nanoribbon field effect transistor.

Abstract: Transistor structures with monocrystalline metal chalcogenide channel materials are formed from a plurality of template regions patterned over a substrate. A crystal of metal chalcogenide may be preferentially grown from a template region and the metal chalcogenide crystals then patterned into the channel region of a transistor. The template regions may be formed by nanometer-dimensioned patterning of a metal precursor, a growth promoter, a growth inhibitor, or a defected region. A metal precursor may be a metal oxide suitable, which is chalcogenated when exposed to a chalcogen precursor at elevated temperature, for example in a chemical vapor deposition process.
