Abstract: Integrated circuit structures include isolation elements extending into a substrate, and source/drain regions of a first transistor contacting the isolation elements. The isolation elements extend from the substrate to the source/drain regions of the first transistor. Isolation layers contact the source/drain regions of the first transistor, and source/drain regions of a second transistor also contact the isolation layers. Thus, the isolation layers are between the source/drain regions of the first transistor and the source/drain regions of the second transistor. Channel regions of the first transistor contact and extend between the source/drain regions of the first transistor, and channel regions of the second transistor contact and extend between the source/drain regions of the second transistor. A gate conductor surrounds sides of the channel region of the first transistor and the channel region of the second transistor.

Abstract: Structures for a nanosheet field-effect transistor and methods for forming a structure for a nanosheet field-effect transistor. A fin is formed that includes a first nanosheet channel layer and a second nanosheet channel layer arranged in a vertical stack. A cavity is formed between a portion of the first nanosheet channel layer and a portion of the second nanosheet channel layer. An epitaxially-grown source/drain region is connected with the portion of the first nanosheet channel layer and the portion of the second nanosheet channel layer. A gate structure is formed that includes a section located in a space between the first nanosheet channel layer and the second nanosheet channel layer. The cavity is surrounded by the first nanosheet channel layer, the second nanosheet channel layer, the section of the gate structure, and the source/drain region to define an air gap spacer.

Abstract: Structures for a nanosheet field-effect transistor and methods for forming a structure for a nanosheet field-effect transistor. A body feature is formed that includes a first nanosheet channel layer, a second nanosheet channel layer, and first, second, and third sacrificial layers that are vertically arranged between the first and second nanosheet channel layers. The first, second, and third sacrificial layers are laterally recessed relative to the first and second nanosheet channel layers to form a cavity indented into a sidewall of the first body feature. The second sacrificial layer is laterally recessed to a lesser extent than the first sacrificial layer or the third sacrificial layer such that an end of the second sacrificial layer projects into the cavity between the first and third sacrificial layers. A dielectric spacer is formed in the first and second portions of cavity between the first and second nanosheet channel layers.

Abstract: Disclosed are structures including a gate-all-around field effect transistor (GAAFET) with air-gap inner spacers. The GAAFET includes a stack of nanoshapes that extend laterally between source/drain regions, a gate that wraps around a center portion of each nanoshape, and a gate sidewall spacer on external sidewalls of the gate. The GAAFET also includes air-gap inner spacers between the gate and the source/drain regions. Each air-gap inner spacer includes: two vertical sections within the gate sidewall spacer on opposing sides of the stack and adjacent to a source/drain region; and horizontal sections below the nanoshapes and extending laterally between the vertical sections. Also discloses are methods of forming the structures and the method include forming preliminary inner spacers in inner spacer cavities prior to source/drain region formation. After source/drain regions are formed, the preliminary inner spacers are removed and the cavities are sealed off, thereby forming the air-gap inner spacers.

Abstract: Structures for a field-effect transistor and methods of forming a structure for a field-effect transistor. A sacrificial layer is epitaxially grown on a bulk semiconductor substrate, a plurality of epitaxial semiconductor layers are epitaxially grown over the sacrificial layer, and the sacrificial layer and the plurality of epitaxial semiconductor layers are patterned to form a fin. A first portion of the first sacrificial layer is removed to form a first cavity arranged between the plurality of epitaxial semiconductor layers and the bulk semiconductor substrate, and a first dielectric material is deposited in the first cavity. A second portion of the first sacrificial layer, which is located adjacent to the first dielectric material in the first cavity, is removed to form a second cavity between the first fin and the bulk semiconductor substrate. A second dielectric material is deposited in the second cavity.
