Abstract: Self-aligned gate endcap (SAGE) architectures without fin end gaps, and methods of fabricating self-aligned gate endcap (SAGE) architectures without fin end gaps, are described. In an example, an integrated circuit structure includes a semiconductor fin having a cut along a length of the semiconductor fin. A gate endcap isolation structure has a first portion parallel with the length of the semiconductor fin and is spaced apart from the semiconductor fin. The gate endcap isolation structure also has a second portion in a location of the cut of the semiconductor fin and in contact with the semiconductor fin.

Abstract: Embodiments herein describe techniques for an integrated circuit that includes a substrate, a semiconductor device on the substrate, and a contact stack above the substrate and coupled to the semiconductor device. The contact stack includes a contact metal layer, and a semiconducting oxide layer adjacent to the contact metal layer. The semiconducting oxide layer includes a semiconducting oxide material, while the contact metal layer includes a metal with a sufficient Schottky-barrier height to induce an interfacial electric field between the semiconducting oxide layer and the contact metal layer to reject interstitial hydrogen from entering the semiconductor device through the contact stack. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract: Monolithic FETs including a majority carrier channel in a first high carrier mobility semiconductor material disposed over a substrate. While a mask, such as a gate stack or sacrificial gate stack, is covering a lateral channel region, a spacer of a high carrier mobility semiconductor material is overgrown, for example wrapping around a dielectric lateral spacer, to increase effective spacing between the transistor source and drain without a concomitant increase in transistor footprint. Source/drain regions couple electrically to the lateral channel region through the high-mobility semiconductor spacer, which may be substantially undoped (i.e. intrinsic). With effective channel length for a given lateral gate dimension increased, the transistor footprint for a given off-state leakage may be reduced or off-state source/drain leakage for a given transistor footprint may be reduced, for example.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to low band gap channel semiconductor devices. In an example, a device includes a first semiconductor material formed above a substrate, the first semiconductor material having a first band gap. A gate dielectric layer is on a surface of the first semiconductor material. A gate electrode is on the gate dielectric layer. A pair of source/drain regions is on opposite sides of the gate electrode. A channel is disposed in the first semiconductor material between the pair of source/drain regions and beneath the gate electrode. The pair of source/drain regions includes a second semiconductor material having a second band gap, and a third semiconductor material having a third band gap. The second semiconductor material is between the first semiconductor material and the third semiconductor material, and the second band gap is greater than the first bandgap.

Abstract: A non-planar gate all-around device and method of fabrication thereby are described. In one embodiment, a multi-layer stack is formed by selectively depositing the entire epi-stack in an STI trench. The channel layer is grown pseudomorphically over a buffer layer. A cap layer is grown on top of the channel layer. In an embodiment, the height of the STI layer remains higher than the channel layer until the formation of the gate. A gate dielectric layer is formed on and all-around each channel nanowire. A gate electrode is formed on the gate dielectric layer and surrounding the channel nanowire.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for forming a defect-free semiconductor structure on a dissimilar substrate with a multi-aspect ratio mask. The multi-aspect ratio mask comprises a first, second, and third layer formed on a substrate. The second layer has a second opening wider than a first opening and a third opening in the first and third layers, respectively. All three openings are centered along a common central axis. A semiconductor material is grown from the top surface of the substrate and laterally onto the top surface of the first layer within the second opening. The semiconductor material disposed within and vertically below the third opening is etched by using the third layer as an etch mask so that the remaining material that laterally overflowed onto the top surface of the first layer forms a remaining structure.
