Abstract: Architectures and techniques for co-integration of heterogeneous materials, such as group III-V semiconductor materials and group IV semiconductors (e.g., Ge) on a same substrate (e.g. silicon). In embodiments, multi-layer heterogeneous semiconductor material stacks having alternating nanowire and sacrificial layers are employed to release nanowires and permit formation of a coaxial gate structure that completely surrounds a channel region of the nanowire transistor. In embodiments, individual PMOS and NMOS channel semiconductor materials are co-integrated with a starting substrate having a blanket layers of alternating Ge/III-V layers. In embodiments, vertical integration of a plurality of stacked nanowires within an individual PMOS and individual NMOS device enable significant drive current for a given layout area.

Abstract: Described is an ultra-dense ferroelectric memory. The memory is fabricated using a patterning method by that applies atomic layer deposition with selective dry and/or wet etch to increase memory density at a given via opening. A ferroelectric capacitor in one example comprises: a first structure (e.g., first electrode) comprising metal; a second structure (e.g., a second electrode) comprising metal; and a third structure comprising ferroelectric material, wherein the third structure is between and adjacent to the first and second structures, wherein a portion of the third structure is interdigitated with the first and second structures to increase surface area of the third structure. The increased surface area allows for higher memory density.

Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms for improved performance characteristics of a transistor device. In an embodiment, a transistor of an integrated circuit comprises a source, a drain, a gate, a gate dielectric and a semiconductor structure which adjoins the gate dielectric. The semiconductor structure is configured to provide a conductive channel between the source and drain. The semiconductor structure includes first, second and third portions, the second portion between the source and the gate, and the third portion between the drain and the gate, wherein the first portion connects the second portion and third portion to one another. A thickness of the first portion is less than another thickness of one of the second portion or the third portion. In another embodiment, the locations of thicker portions of semiconductor structure mitigate overall transistor capacitance, while a thinner intermediary portion of the semiconductor structure promotes good sub-threshold swing characteristics.

Abstract: A group III-N nanowire is disposed on a substrate. A longitudinal length of the nanowire is defined into a channel region of a first group III-N material, a source region electrically coupled with a first end of the channel region, and a drain region electrically coupled with a second end of the channel region. A second group III-N material on the first group III-N material serves as a charge inducing layer, and/or barrier layer on surfaces of nanowire. A gate insulator and/or gate conductor coaxially wraps completely around the nanowire within the channel region. Drain and source contacts may similarly coaxially wrap completely around the drain and source regions.
