Abstract: A method includes forming a stack of semiconductor material layers. A first spacer is formed adjacent a lower region at a first end of the stack, and a second spacer is formed adjacent an upper region positioned at a second end of the stack. A gate structure and sidewall spacer are formed above the stack. The gate structure and a first subset of the semiconductor layers are removed to define inner cavities and a gate cavity. A gate insulation layer is formed. A first conductive material is formed in the inner cavities. The first conductive material is selectively removed from the inner cavities in the upper region. The first conductive material in the inner cavities in the lower region remains as a first gate electrode. A second conductive material is formed in the inner cavities in the upper region to define a second gate electrode.

Abstract: Structures for a nanosheet field-effect transistor and methods for forming a structure for a nanosheet field-effect transistor. A body feature is formed that includes a sacrificial layer arranged vertically between the first and second nanosheet channel layers. The sacrificial layer is laterally recessed at a sidewall of the body feature to expose respective portions of the first and second nanosheet channel layers. A sacrificial spacer is formed by oxidizing a portion of the sacrificial layer at the sidewall of the body feature. Sections of a semiconductor material are epitaxially grown on the exposed portions of the first and second nanosheet channel layers to narrow a gap vertically separating the first and second nanosheet channel layers. The sacrificial spacer is removed to form a cavity between the sections of the semiconductor material and the sacrificial layer. A dielectric spacer is conformally deposited in the cavity.

Abstract: Methods of forming a gate cut isolation for an SRAM include forming a first and second active nanostructures adjacent to each other and separated by a space; forming a sacrificial liner over at least a side of the first active nanostructure facing the space, causing a first distance between a remaining portion of the space and the first active nanostructure to be greater than a second distance between the remaining portion of the space and the second active nanostructure. A gate cut isolation is formed in the remaining portion of the space such that it is closer to the second active nanostructure than the first active nanostructure. The sacrificial liner is removed, and gates formed over the active nanostructures with the gates separated from each other by the gate cut isolation. An SRAM including the gate cut isolation and an IC structure including the SRAM are also included.

Abstract: Structures for a field-effect transistor and methods of forming structures for a field-effect transistor. A layer stack includes nanosheet channel layers arranged to alternate with sacrificial layers. First and second gate structures are formed that extend across the layer stack and that are separated by a first gap. First and second sidewall spacers are formed over the layer stack and within the first gap respectively adjacent to the first and second gate structures, and the layer stack is subsequently etched to form first and second body features that are separated by a second gap. The sacrificial layers are recessed relative to the nanosheet channel layers to define indents in the first and second body features, and the first and second sidewall spacers are subsequently removed. After removing the first and second sidewall spacers, a conformal layer is deposited in the second gap that fills the indents to define inner spacers.
