摘要:
A semiconductor device comprising a semiconductor body having a top surface and a first and second laterally opposite sidewalls as formed on an insulating substrate is claimed. A gate dielectric is formed on the top surface of the semiconductor body and on the first and second laterally opposite sidewalls of the semiconductor body. A gate electrode is then formed on the gate dielectric on the top surface of the semiconductor body and adjacent to the gate dielectric on the first and second laterally opposite sidewalls of the semiconductor body. The gate electrode comprises a metal film formed directly adjacent to the gate dielectric layer. A pair of source and drain regions are then formed in the semiconductor body on opposite sides of the gate electrode.

A method for making a semiconductor device is described. That method comprises forming on a substrate a dielectric layer and a sacrificial structure that comprises a first layer and a second layer, such that the second layer is formed on the first layer and is wider than the first layer. After the sacrificial structure is removed to generate a trench, a metal gate electrode is formed within the trench.

Semiconductor integrated circuit structures, such as stacks containing metal layers, may be etched with a modified viscosity etchant. An increased viscosity etchant, for example, may reduce undercutting when a metal film is being etched.

A method for making a semiconductor device is described. That method comprises forming a dummy dielectric layer that is at least about 10 angstroms thick on a substrate, and forming a sacrificial layer on the dummy dielectric layer. After removing the sacrificial layer and the dummy dielectric layer to generate a trench that is positioned between first and second spacers, a gate dielectric layer is formed on the substrate at the bottom of the trench, and a metal layer is formed on the gate dielectric layer.

A method for making a semiconductor device is described. That method comprises forming a first dielectric layer on a substrate, then forming a trench within the first dielectric layer. After forming a second dielectric layer on the substrate, a first metal layer is formed within the trench on a first part of the second dielectric layer. A second metal layer is then formed on the first metal layer and on a second part of the second dielectric layer.

A nanotube transistor, such as a carbon nanotube transistor, may be formed with a top gate electrode and a spaced source and drain. Conduction along the transistor from source to drain is controlled by the gate electrode. Underlying the gate electrode are at least two nanotubes. In some embodiments, the substrate may act as a back gate.
