    Abstract: Techniques herein include methods for fabricating vertical stacks of vertical-channel transistors. Vertical channels can be made from an initial epitaxial structure, and electrically isolated at locations to divide the structure into multiple, independent vertical channels. Techniques enable modulating PMOS and NMOS channel composition and channel geometry to match drive currents thereby providing advanced circuit tuning. Advantageously, one process step can be performed per type of epitaxial material to dope epitaxial materials in respective source/drain regions.

    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide a method of forming a semiconductor apparatus. A stack of dielectric layers is formed over a semiconductor layer on a substrate of the semiconductor apparatus. Multiple openings are formed in the stack of dielectric layers. Multiple pillars including first sub-pillars and second sub-pillars are formed in the multiple openings. A cantilever structure that includes a first cantilever beam and a second cantilever beam is formed. A cantilever supporting structure that includes a portion of a first subset of the multiple pillars is formed. The first cantilever beam connects the second cantilever beam and the cantilever supporting structure. One of the stack of dielectric layers is removed to expose first portions of the first sub-pillars and second portions of the second sub-pillars. Isolation structures are formed between the first sub-pillars and the respective second sub-pillars.

    Abstract: A method of forming transistor devices is described that includes forming a first transistor plane on a substrate, the first transistor plane including at least one layer of epitaxial film adaptable for forming channels of field effect transistors, depositing a first insulator layer on the first transistor plane, depositing a first layer of polycrystalline silicon on the first insulator layer, annealing the first layer of polycrystalline silicon using laser heating. The laser heating increases grain size of the first layer of polycrystalline silicon. The method further includes forming a second transistor plane on the first layer of polycrystalline silicon, the second transistor plane being adaptable for forming channels of field effect transistors, depositing a second insulator layer on the second transistor plane, depositing a second layer of polycrystalline silicon on the second insulator layer, and annealing the second layer of polycrystalline silicon using laser heating.

    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide a semiconductor structure. For example, the semiconductor structure can include a lower transistor including a lower channel that is elongated horizontally, and an upper transistor vertically stacked over the lower transistor and including an upper channel that is elongated horizontally. The semiconductor structure can also include a lower metal capacitor electrically connected to and horizontally elongated from the lower transistor. The lower metal capacitor can include a first lower metal plate that is in-plane with the lower channel of the lower transistor. The semiconductor structure can also include an upper metal capacitor vertically stacked over the lower metal capacitor and electrically connected to and horizontally elongated from the upper transistor. The upper metal capacitor can include a first upper metal plate that is in-plane with the upper channel of the upper transistor.
