摘要: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a nano sheet field effect transistor (FET) device that includes a gate spacer and an inner spacer. The gate spacer includes an upper segment and a lower segment. The inner spacer has a first selectivity to etch compositions used in predetermined fabrication operations for forming the inner spacer. The lower segment has the first selectivity to etch compositions used in predetermined fabrication operations for forming the inner spacer. The upper segment has a second selectivity to etch compositions used in predetermined fabrication operations for forming the inner spacer. The first etch selectivity is greater than the second etch selectivity.

摘要: Embodiments are directed to a method of forming a stacked nanosheet and resulting structures having equal thickness work function metal layers. A nanosheet stack is formed on a substrate. The nanosheet stack includes a first sacrificial layer formed on a first nanosheet. A hard mask is formed on the first sacrificial layer and the first sacrificial layer is removed to form a cavity between the hard mask and the first nanosheet. A work function layer is formed to fill the cavity between the hard mask and the first nanosheet.

摘要: A method of forming a semiconductor device that includes providing a first stack of nanosheets having a first thickness and a second stack of nanosheets having a second thickness; and forming a oxide layer on the first and second stack of nanosheets. The oxide layer fills a space between said nanosheets in the first stack, and is conformally present on the nanosheets in the second stack. The method further includes forming a work function metal layer on the first and second stack of nanosheets. In some embodiments, the work function metal layer is present on only exterior surfaces of the first stack to provide a single gate structure and is conformally present about an entirety of the nanosheets in the second stack to provide a multiple gate structure.

摘要: A method is presented for forming a nanosheet metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) structure. The method includes forming a heteroepitaxial film stack including at least one sacrificial layer and at least one channel layer, patterning the heteroepitaxial film stack, forming a dummy gate stack with sidewall spacers, and forming a cladded or embedded epitaxial source/drain material along the patterned heteroepitaxial film stack sidewalls. The method further includes removing the dummy gate stack, partially removing the at least one sacrificial layer, and forming a replacement gate stack.

摘要: Nanosheet semiconductor devices and methods of forming the same include forming a first stack in a first device region, the first stack including layers of a first channel material and layers of a sacrificial material. A second stack is formed in a second device region, the second stack including layers of a second channel material, layers of the sacrificial material, and a liner formed around the layers of the second channel material. The sacrificial material is etched away using a wet etch that is selective to the sacrificial material and the second channel material and does not affect the first channel material or the liner. The liner protects the second channel material from the wet etch.

摘要: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a method of forming an insulation region during fabrication of a nanosheet channel field effect transistor (FET). The method includes forming a first sacrificial nanosheet across from a major surface of a substrate, wherein the first sacrificial nanosheet includes a first semiconductor material at a concentration percentage less than or equal to about fifty percent. A first nanosheet stack is formed on an opposite side of the first sacrificial nanosheet from the major surface of the substrate, wherein the first nanosheet stack includes alternating channel nanosheets and sacrificial stack nanosheets, wherein a thickness dimension of the first sacrificial nanosheet is greater than a thickness dimension of at least one of the alternating channel nanosheets. An oxidation operation is performed that converts the first sacrificial nanosheet to a dielectric oxide, wherein the insulation region includes the dielectric oxide.

摘要: Embodiments are directed to a method and resulting structures for forming a semiconductor device having a vertically integrated nanosheet fuse. A nanosheet stack is formed on a substrate. The nanosheet stack includes a semiconductor layer formed between an upper nanosheet and a lower nanosheet. The semiconductor layer is modified such that an etch rate of the modified semiconductor layer is greater than an etch rate of the upper and lower nanosheets when exposed to an etchant. Portions of the modified semiconductor layer are removed to form a cavity between the upper and lower nanosheets and a silicide region is formed in the upper nanosheet.

摘要: A method for forming a compressively strained semiconductor substrate includes forming a lattice adjustment layer on a semiconductor substrate by forming compound clusters within an epitaxially grown semiconductor matrix. The lattice adjustment layer includes a different lattice constant than the semiconductor substrate. A rare earth oxide is grown and lattice matched to the lattice adjustment layer. A semiconductor layer is grown and lattice matched to the rare earth oxide and includes a same material as the semiconductor substrate such that the semiconductor layer is compressively strained.
