    Abstract: An apparatus includes a first metal layer, a second metal layer and a dielectric material. The first metal layer has a first thickness and a second thickness less than the first thickness, and the first metal layer comprises a first interconnect having a first thickness. The dielectric material extends between the first and second metal layers and directly contacts the first and second metal layers. The dielectric material includes a via that extends through the dielectric material. A metal material of the via directly contacts the first interconnect and the second metal layer.

    Abstract: A transistor including a source and a drain each formed in a substrate; a channel disposed in the substrate between the source and drain, wherein the channel includes opposing sidewalls with a distance between the opposing sidewalls defining a width dimension of the channel and wherein the opposing sidewalls extend a distance below a surface of the substrate; and a gate electrode on the channel. A method of forming a transistor including forming a source and a drain in an area of a substrate; forming a source contact on the source and a drain contact on the drain; after forming the source contact and the drain contact, forming a channel in the substrate in an area between the source and drain, the channel including a body having opposing sidewalls separated by a length dimension; and forming a gate contact on the channel.

    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for forming semiconductor structures including resistors between gates on self-aligned gate edge architecture. A semiconductor structure includes a first semiconductor fin extending in a first direction, and a second semiconductor fin adjacent to the first semiconductor fin, extending in the first direction. A first gate structure is disposed proximal to a first end of the first semiconductor fin and over the first semiconductor fin in a second direction, orthogonal to the first direction, and a second gate structure is disposed proximal to a second end of the first semiconductor fin and over the first semiconductor fin in the second direction. A first structure comprising isolation material is centered between the first and second semiconductor fins. A second structure comprising resistive material is disposed in the first structure, the second structure extending at least between the first gate structure and the second gate structure.
