Abstract: SRAM devices with angled transistors, and related assemblies and methods, are disclosed herein. A transistor is referred to as “angled” if a longitudinal axis of an elongated semiconductor structure (e.g., a fin or a nanoribbon) based on which the transistor is built is at an angle other than 0 degrees or 90 degrees with respect to the edges of front or back faces of a support structure or a die on/in which the transistor resides, e.g., at an angle between about 10 and 80 degrees with respect to at least one of such edges. Implementing at least some of the transistors of SRAM cells as angled transistors may provide a promising way to increasing densities of SRAM cells on the limited real estate of semiconductor chips.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are transistor gate-channel arrangements with transistor gate stacks that include thick hysteretic elements (i.e., hysteretic elements having a thickness of at least 10-15 nanometers, e.g., between 55 and 100 nanometers), and related methods and devices. Transistor gate stacks disclosed herein include a multilayer gate insulator having a thick hysteretic element and an interface layer, where the thick hysteretic element is between the interface layer and a gate electrode material, and the interface layer is between the thick hysteretic element and a channel material of a transistor. The interface layer may be a dielectric material with an effective dielectric constant of at least 20 and/or be a dielectric material that is thinner than about 3 nanometers. Such an interface layer may help improve gate control and allow use of thick hysteretic elements while maintaining transistor performance in terms of, e.g., gate leakage, carrier mobility, and subthreshold swing.

Abstract: IC devices including angled transistors formed based on angled wafers are disclosed. An example IC device includes a substrate and a semiconductor structure. A crystal direction of a crystal structure in the semiconductor structure is not aligned with a corresponding crystal direction (e.g., having same Miller indices) of a crystal structure in the substrate. An angle between the two crystal directions may be 4-60 degrees. The semiconductor structure is formed based on another substrate (e.g., a wafer) that has a different orientation from the substrate, e.g., flats or notches of the two substrates are not aligned. The crystal direction of the semiconductor structure may be determined based on a crystal direction in the another substrate. The semiconductor structure may be a portion of a transistor, e.g., the channel region and S/D regions of the transistor. The semiconductor structure may be angled with respect to an edge of the substrate.
