In a first aspect, a first method of manufacturing a dielectric material with a reduced dielectric constant is provided. The first method includes the steps of (1) forming a dielectric material layer including a trench on a substrate; and (2) forming a cladding region in the dielectric material layer by forming a plurality of air gaps in the dielectric material layer along at least one of a sidewall and a bottom of the trench so as to reduce an effective dielectric constant of the dielectric material. Numerous other aspects are provided.
摘要:
Semiconductor structures in which the gate electrode of a FinFET is masked from the process introducing dopant into the fin body of the FinFET to form source/drain regions and methods of fabricating such semiconductor structures. The gate doping, and hence the work function of the gate electrode, is advantageously isolated from the process that dopes the fin body to form the source/drain regions. The sidewalls of the gate electrode are covered by sidewall spacers that are formed on the gate electrode but not on the sidewall of the fin body.

A vertical double-gate field effect transistor includes a source layer, an epitaxial channel layer and a drain layer arranged in a stack on a bulk or SOI substrate. The gate oxide is thermally grown on the sides of the stack using differential oxidation rates to minimize input capacitance problems. The gate wraps around one end of the stack, while contacts are formed on a second end. An etch-stop layer embedded in the second end of the stack enables contact to be made directly to the channel layer.
