Architectures and techniques for co-integration of heterogeneous materials, such as group III-V semiconductor materials and group IV semiconductors (e.g., Ge) on a same substrate (e.g. silicon). In embodiments, multi-layer heterogeneous semiconductor material stacks having alternating nanowire and sacrificial layers are employed to release nanowires and permit formation of a coaxial gate structure that completely surrounds a channel region of the nanowire transistor. In embodiments, individual PMOS and NMOS channel semiconductor materials are co-integrated with a starting substrate having a blanket layers of alternating Ge/III-V layers. In embodiments, vertical integration of a plurality of stacked nanowires within an individual PMOS and individual NMOS device enable significant drive current for a given layout area.

An embodiment includes depositing a material onto a substrate where the material includes a different lattice constant than the substrate (e.g., III-V or IV epitaxial (EPI) material on a Si substrate). An embodiment includes an EPI layer formed within a trench having walls that narrow as the trench extends upwards. An embodiment includes an EPI layer formed within a trench using multiple growth temperatures. A defect barrier, formed in the EPI layer when the temperature changes, contains defects within the trench and below the defect barrier. The EPI layer above the defect barrier and within the trench is relatively defect free. An embodiment includes an EPI layer annealed within a trench to induce defect annihilation. An embodiment includes an EPI superlattice formed within a trench and covered with a relatively defect free EPI layer (that is still included in the trench). Other embodiments are described herein.

Techniques are disclosed for forming a non-planar germanium quantum well structure. In particular, the quantum well structure can be implemented with group IV or III-V semiconductor materials and includes a germanium fin structure. In one example case, a non-planar quantum well device is provided, which includes a quantum well structure having a substrate (e.g. SiGe or GaAs buffer on silicon), a IV or III-V material barrier layer (e.g., SiGe or GaAs or AlGaAs), a doping layer (e.g., delta/modulation doped), and an undoped germanium quantum well layer. An undoped germanium fin structure is formed in the quantum well structure, and a top barrier layer deposited over the fin structure. A gate metal can be deposited across the fin structure. Drain/source regions can be formed at respective ends of the fin structure.

A method to reduce contact resistance of n-channel transistors by using a III-V semiconductor interlayer in source and drain is generally presented. In this regard, a device is introduced comprising an n-type transistor with a source region and a drain region a first interlayer dielectric layer adjacent the transistor, a trench through the first interlayer dielectric layer to the source region, and a conductive source contact in the trench, the source contact being separated from the source region by a III-V semiconductor interlayer. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.
