Abstract: Semiconductor device includes first and second nanowire structures disposed on semiconductor substrate extending in first direction on substrate. First nanowire structure includes plurality of first nanowires including first nanowire material extending along first direction and arranged in second direction, second direction substantially perpendicular to first direction. Second nanowire structure includes plurality of second nanowires including second nanowire material extending along first direction arranged in second direction. Second nanowire material is not same as first nanowire material. Each nanowire is spaced-apart from immediately adjacent nanowire. First and second gate structures wrap around first and second nanowires at first region of respective first and second nanowire structures. First and second gate structures include gate electrodes. Viewed in cross section taken along third direction substantially perpendicular to first and second directions, height of first nanowires along second direction is not equal to distance of spacing along second direction between immediately adjacent second nanowires.

Abstract: A method includes forming a gate structure on a substrate, forming a seal spacer covering a sidewall of the gate structure, forming a sacrificial spacer covering a sidewall of the seal spacer, forming source/drain regions sandwiching a channel region that is under the gate structure, and depositing a contact etch stop layer covering a sidewall of the sacrificial spacer. The method further includes removing the sacrificial spacer to form a trench, wherein the trench exposes a sidewall of the contact etch stop layer and the sidewall of the seal spacer, and depositing an inter-layer dielectric layer, wherein the inter-layer dielectric layer caps the trench, thereby defining an air gap inside the trench.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes an example method for routing a standard cell with multiple pins. The method can include modifying a dimension of a pin of the standard cell, where the pin is spaced at an increased distance from a boundary of the standard cell than an original position of the pin. The method also includes routing an interconnect from the pin to a via placed on a pin track located between the pin and the boundary and inserting a keep out area between the interconnect and a pin from an adjacent standard cell. The method further includes verifying that the keep out area separates the interconnect from the pin from the adjacent standard cell by at least a predetermined distance.
