Abstract:
Embodiments herein describe techniques for a semiconductor device including a transistor. The transistor includes a first metal contact as a source electrode, a second metal contact as a drain electrode, a channel area between the source electrode and the drain electrode, and a third metal contact aligned with the channel area as a gate electrode. The first metal contact may be located in a first metal layer along a first direction. The second metal contact may be located in a second metal layer along the first direction, in parallel with the first metal contact. The third metal contact may be located in a third metal layer along a second direction substantially orthogonal to the first direction. The third metal layer is between the first metal layer and the second metal layer. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
Abstract:
An apparatus including a transistor device including a channel disposed on a substrate between a source and a drain, a gate electrode disposed on the channel, wherein the channel includes a length dimension between source and drain that is greater than a length dimension of the gate electrode such that there is a passivated underlap between an edge of the gate electrode and an edge of the channel relative to each of the source and the drain. A method including forming a channel of a transistor device on a substrate; forming first and second passivation layers on a surface of substrate on opposite sides of the channel; forming a gate stack on the channel between first and second passivation layers; and forming a source on the substrate between the channel and the first passivation layer and a drain on the substrate between the channel and the second passivation layer.
Abstract:
Transistors suitable for high voltage and high frequency operation. A nanowire is disposed vertically or horizontally on a substrate. A longitudinal length of the nanowire is defined into a channel region of a first semiconductor material, a source region electrically coupled with a first end of the channel region, a drain region electrically coupled with a second end of the channel region, and an extrinsic drain region disposed between the channel region and drain region. The extrinsic drain region has a wider bandgap than that of the first semiconductor. A gate stack including a gate conductor and a gate insulator coaxially wraps completely around the channel region, drain and source contacts similarly coaxially wrap completely around the drain and source regions.
Abstract:
Aspect ratio trapping (ART) approaches for fabricating vertical semiconductor devices and vertical semiconductor devices fabricated there from are described. For example, a semiconductor device includes a substrate with an uppermost surface having a first lattice constant. A first source/drain region is disposed on the uppermost surface of the substrate and has a second, different, lattice constant. A vertical channel region is disposed on the first source/drain region. A second source/drain region is disposed on the vertical channel region. A gate stack is disposed on and completely surrounds a portion of the vertical channel region.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the disclosure described herein comprise a tunneling field effect transistor (TFET) having a drain region, a source region having a conductivity type opposite of the drain region, a channel region disposed between the source region and the drain region, a gate disposed over the channel region, and a heterogeneous pocket disposed near a junction of the source region and the channel region. The heterogeneous pocket comprises a semiconductor material different than the channel region, and comprises a tunneling barrier less than the bandgap in the channel region and forming a quantum well in the channel region to in crease a current through the TFET transistor when a voltage applied to the gate is above a threshold voltage.
Abstract:
A single fin or a pair of co-integrated n- and p-type single crystal electronic device fins are epitaxially grown from a substrate surface at a bottom of one or a pair of trenches formed between shallow trench isolation (STI) regions. The fin or fins are patterned and the STI regions are etched to form a height of the fin or fins extending above etched top surfaces of the STI regions. The fin heights may be at least 1.5 times their width. The exposed sidewall surfaces and a top surface of each fin is epitaxially clad with one or more conformal epitaxial materials to form device layers on the fin. Prior to growing the fins, a blanket buffer epitaxial material may be grown from the substrate surface; and the fins grown in STI trenches formed above the blanket layer. Such formation of fins reduces defects from material interface lattice mismatches.
