摘要:
After formation of a gate stack, regions in which a source and a drain are to be formed are recessed through the top semiconductor layer and into an upper portion of a buried single crystalline rare earth oxide layer of a semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) substrate so that a source trench and drain trench are formed. An embedded single crystalline semiconductor portion epitaxially aligned to the buried single crystalline rare earth oxide layer is formed in each of the source trench and the drain trench to form a recessed source and a recessed drain, respectively. Protrusion of the recessed source and recessed drain above the bottom surface of a gate dielectric can be minimized to reduce parasitic capacitive coupling with a gate electrode, while providing low source resistance and drain resistance through the increased thickness of the recessed source and recessed drain relative to the thickness of the top semiconductor layer.

A dielectric mandrel structure is formed on a single crystalline semiconductor layer. An amorphous semiconductor material layer is deposited on the physically exposed surfaces of the single crystalline semiconductor layer and surfaces of the mandrel structure. Optionally, the amorphous semiconductor material layer can be implanted with at least one different semiconductor material. Solid phase epitaxy is performed on the amorphous semiconductor material layer employing the single crystalline semiconductor layer as a seed layer, thereby forming an epitaxial semiconductor material layer with uniform thickness. Remaining portions of the epitaxial semiconductor material layer are single crystalline semiconductor fins and thickness of these fins are sublithographic. After removal of the dielectric mandrel structure, the single crystalline semiconductor fins can be employed to form a semiconductor device.

An improved semiconductor capacitor and method of fabrication is disclosed. A MIM stack, comprising alternating first-type and second-type metal layers (each separated by dielectric) is formed in a deep cavity. The entire stack can be planarized, and then patterned to expose a first area, and selectively etched to recess all first metal layers within the first area. A second selective etch is performed to recess all second metal layers within a second area. The etched recesses can be backfilled with dielectric. Separate electrodes can be formed; a first electrode formed in said first area and contacting all of said second-type metal layers and none of said first-type metal layers, and a second electrode formed in said second area and contacting all of said first-type metal layers and none of said second-type metal layers.

A dielectric template layer is deposited on a substrate. Line trenches are formed within the dielectric template layer by an anisotropic etch that employs a patterned mask layer. The patterned mask layer can be a patterned photoresist layer, or a patterned hard mask layer that is formed by other image transfer methods. A lower portion of each line trench is filled with an epitaxial rare-earth oxide material by a selective rare-earth oxide epitaxy process. An upper portion of each line trench is filled with an epitaxial semiconductor material by a selective semiconductor epitaxy process. The dielectric template layer is recessed to form a dielectric material layer that provides lateral electrical isolation among fin structures, each of which includes a stack of a rare-earth oxide fin portion and a semiconductor fin portion.

A structure and method to fabricate a body contact on a transistor is disclosed. The method comprises forming a semiconductor structure with a transistor on a handle wafer. The structure is then inverted, and the handle wafer is removed. A silicided body contact is then formed on the transistor in the inverted position. The body contact may be connected to neighboring vias to connect the body contact to other structures or levels to form an integrated circuit.
