    Abstract: Provided are approaches for patterning multiple, dense features in a semiconductor device using a memorization layer. Specifically, an approach includes: patterning a plurality of openings in a memorization layer; forming a gap-fill material within each of the plurality of openings; removing the memorization layer; removing an etch stop layer adjacent the gap-fill material, wherein a portion of the etch stop layer remains beneath the gap-fill material; etching a hardmask to form a set of openings above the set of gate structures, wherein the etch to the hardmask also removes the gap-fill material from atop the remaining portion of the etch stop layer; and etching the semiconductor device to remove the hardmask within each of the set of openings. In one embodiment, a set of dummy S/D contact pillars is then formed over a set of fins of the semiconductor device by etching a dielectric layer selective to the gate structures.

    Abstract: An improved semiconductor structure and methods of fabrication that provide improved transistor contacts in a semiconductor structure are provided. A first block mask is formed over a portion of the semiconductor structure. This first block mask covers at least a portion of at least one source/drain (s/d) contact location. An s/d capping layer is formed over the s/d contact locations that are not covered by the first block mask. This s/d capping layer is comprised of a first capping substance. Then, a second block mask is formed over the semiconductor structure. This second block mask exposes at least one gate location. A gate capping layer, which comprises a second capping substance, is removed from the exposed gate location(s). Then a metal contact layer is deposited, which forms a contact to both the s/d contact location(s) and the gate contact location(s).

    Abstract: Approaches for altering the threshold voltage (e.g., to zero threshold voltage) in a fin-type field effect transistor (FinFET) device are provided. In embodiments of the invention, a first N+ region and a second N+ region are formed on a finned substrate that has a p-well construction. A region of the finned substrate located between the first N+ region and the second N+ region is doped with a negative implant species to form an n-well. The size and/or composition of this n-well region can be adjusted in view of the existing p-well construction of the substrate device to change the threshold voltage of the FinFET device (e.g., to yield a zero threshold voltage FinFET device).
