Abstract: Digital-to-analog converters (DACs) having a multiple-gate (multi-gate) transistor-like structure are disclosed herein. The DAC structures have a similar structure to a transistor (e.g., a MOSFET) and include source and drain regions. However, instead of employing only one gate between the source and drain regions, multiple distinct gates are employed. Each distinct gate can represent a bit for the DAC and can include different gate lengths to enable providing different current values, and thus, unique outputs. Further, N number of inputs can be applied to N number of gates employed by the DAC. The DAC structure may be configured such that the longest gate controls the LSB of the DAC and the shortest gate controls the MSB, or vice versa. In some cases, the multi-gate DAC employs high-injection velocity materials that enable compact design and routing, such as InGaAs, InP, SiGe, and Ge, to provide some examples.

Abstract: High-purity Ge channeled N-type transistors include a Si-based barrier material separating the channel from a Ge source and drain that is heavily doped with an N-type impurity. The barrier material may have nanometer thickness and may also be doped with N-type impurities. Because of the Si content, N-type impurities have lower diffusivity within the barrier material and can be prevented from entering high-purity Ge channel material. In addition to Si, a barrier material may also include C. With the barrier material, an N-type transistor may display higher channel mobility and reduced short-channel effects.

Abstract: A nanowire transistor structure has a first device region with a first body of semiconductor material having a first cross-sectional shape. A second device region has a second body with a second cross-sectional shape different from the first cross-sectional shape. The first device section is vertically above or below the second device section with the bodies extending horizontally between a source and drain. A first gate structure is wrapped around the first body and a second gate structure is wrapped around the second body. Differences in the geometries of the nanowires can be used to optimize performance in the first device section independently of the second device section.

Abstract: Gate-all-around integrated circuit structures having an insulator fin on an insulator substrate, and methods of fabricating gate-all-around integrated circuit structures having an insulator fin on an insulator substrate, are described. For example, an integrated circuit structure includes an insulator fin on an insulator substrate. A vertical arrangement of horizontal semiconductor nanowires is over the insulator fin. A gate stack surrounds a channel region of the vertical arrangement of horizontal semiconductor nanowires, and the gate stack is overlying the insulator fin. A pair of epitaxial source or drain structures is at first and second ends of the vertical arrangement of horizontal semiconductor nanowires and at first and second ends of the insulator fin.

Abstract: Tunneling Field Effect Transistors (TFETs) are promising devices in that they promise significant performance increase and energy consumption decrease due to a steeper subthreshold slope (for example, smaller sub-threshold swing). In various embodiments, vertical fin-based TFETs can be fabricated in trenches, for example, silicon trenches. In another embodiment, vertical TFETs can be used on different material systems acting as a substrate and/or trenches (for example, Si, Ge, III-V semiconductors, GaN, and the like). In one embodiment, the tunneling direction in the channel of the vertical TFET can be perpendicular to the Si substrates. In one embodiment, this can be different than the tunneling direction in the channel of lateral TFETs.

Abstract: A monolithic three-dimensional integrated circuit may include multiple transistor levels separated by one or more levels of metallization. An upper level transistor structure may include a monocrystalline channel material over a bottom gate stack. The channel material and the gate stack materials may be formed on a donor substrate at any suitable temperature, and subsequently transferred from the donor substrate to a host substrate that includes lower-level circuitry. The upper-level transistor may be patterned from the transferred layers so that the gate electrode includes one or more bonding layers. Source and drain material may be patterned from a source and drain material layer that was transferred from the donor substrate along with the channel material, or source and drain material may be grown at low temperatures from the transferred channel material.
