    Abstract: A method includes forming a first semiconductor fin protruding from a substrate and forming a gate stack over the first semiconductor fin. Forming the gate stack includes depositing a gate dielectric layer over the first semiconductor fin, depositing a first seed layer over the gate dielectric layer, depositing a second seed layer over the first seed layer, wherein the second seed layer has a different structure than the first seed layer, and depositing a conductive layer over the second seed layer, wherein the first seed layer, the second seed layer, and the conductive layer include the same conductive material. The method also includes forming source and drain regions adjacent the gate stack.

    Abstract: A semiconductor structure, a semiconductor device, and a method for forming the semiconductor device are provided. In various embodiments, the method for forming the semiconductor device includes forming transistors on a substrate. Forming each transistor includes forming a doped region on the substrate. A nanowire is formed protruding from the doped region. An interlayer dielectric layer is deposited over the doped region. A dielectric layer is deposited over the interlayer dielectric layer and surrounding each of the nanowires. A first gate layer is deposited over the dielectric layer. The dielectric layer and first gate layer are etched to expose portions of the nanowires and the interlayer dielectric layer. A second gate layer is formed over the exposed interlayer dielectric layer and surrounding the first gate layer. Then, the second gate layer was patterned to remove the second gate layer on the interlayer dielectric layer between the transistors.

    Abstract: A method includes providing a substrate; forming mandrel patterns over the substrate; and forming spacers on sidewalls of the mandrel patterns. The method further includes removing the mandrel patterns, thereby forming trenches that are at least partially surrounded by the spacers. The method further includes depositing a copolymer material in the trenches, wherein the copolymer material is directed self-assembling; and inducing microphase separation within the copolymer material, thereby defining a first constituent polymer surrounded by a second constituent polymer. The mandrel patterns have restricted sizes and a restricted configuration. The first constituent polymer includes cylinders arranged in a rectangular or square array.

    Abstract: Directional patterning methods are disclosed herein. An exemplary method includes performing a lithography process to form a pattered hard mask layer over a wafer, wherein the patterned hard mask layer includes a hard mask feature having an associated horizontally-defined characteristic; tuning an etching process to direct etching species in a substantially horizontal direction relative to a horizontal surface of the wafer, such that the etching process horizontally removes portions of the patterned hard mask layer, thereby modifying the horizontally-defined characteristic of the hard mask feature; and forming an integrated circuit feature that corresponds with the hard mask feature having the modified horizontally-defined characteristic. Horizontally-defined characteristic can include a length, a width, a line edge roughness, a line width roughness, a line end profile, other horizontally-defined characteristics, or combinations thereof. In some implementations, the directional patterning method disclosed herein can achieve oblique interconnects and/or slot (rectangular) via interconnects.
