    Abstract: Methods for fabricating transistor structures are provided, the methods including: forming a fin structure with an upper fin portion and a lower fin portion, the upper fin portion including a sacrificial material; forming a gate structure over the fin; selectively removing the upper fin portion to form a tunnel between the gate structure and lower fin portion; and providing a channel material in the tunnel to define the channel region of the gate structure. The sacrificial material may be a material that can be selectively etched without etching the material of the lower fin portion. The channel material may further be provided to form source and drain regions of the transistor structure, which may result in a junctionless FinFET structure.

    Abstract: A method includes forming at least one fin on a semiconductor substrate. A silicon alloy material is formed on the fin and on exposed surface portions of the substrate. A thermal process is performed to define a silicon alloy fin from the silicon alloy material and the fin and to define silicon alloy surface portions from the silicon alloy material and the exposed surface portions of the substrate. A semiconductor device includes a substrate, a fin defined on the substrate, the fin comprising a silicon alloy and having a substantially vertical sidewall, and silicon alloy surface portions on the substrate adjacent the fin.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of forming an integrated circuit (IC) that incorporates multiple vertical field effect transistors (VFETs) (e.g., in a VFET array). In the method, self-aligned gates for each pair of VFETs and a self-aligned gate extension for contacting those self-aligned gates are essentially simultaneously formed such that the gates wrap around a pair of semiconductor fins, which are in end-to-end alignment, and such that the gate extension fills the space between adjacent ends of those semiconductor fins. By forming self-aligned gates and a self-aligned gate extension for a pair of VFETs, the method avoids the need for lithographically patterning extension cut isolation regions between adjacent pairs of VFETs in a VFET array. Thus, the method enables implementation of VFET array designs with a reduced fin pitch without incurring defects caused, for example, by overlay errors. Also disclosed herein is an IC formed according to the method.

    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.
