摘要: A method of forming a semiconductor structure includes forming first and second stacked nanosheet channel structures on a semiconductor substrate, with each nanosheet channel structure including a plurality of stacked channel regions interspersed with sacrificial regions. In a resulting semiconductor structure, an N-type stacked nanosheet channel structure is formed on the semiconductor substrate, and a P-type stacked nanosheet channel structure is formed adjacent to the N-type stacked nanosheet channel structure on the semiconductor substrate. Each of the adjacent N-type and P-type stacked nanosheet channel structures includes a plurality of stacked channel regions with each such channel region being substantially surrounded by a gate dielectric layer and a gate work function metal layer. The gate dielectric and gate work function metal layers of the adjacent N-type and P-type stacked nanosheet channel structures are substantially eliminated from a shared gate region between the adjacent N-type and P-type stacked nanosheet channel structures.

摘要: A technique relates to a semiconductor device. A first epitaxial material is formed under a bottom surface of a set of fins, the first epitaxial material being under fin channel regions of the set of fins. A second epitaxial material is formed adjacent to the first epitaxial material and remote from the fin channel regions, a combination of the first epitaxial material and the second epitaxial material forming a bottom source or drain (source/drain) layer. A top source/drain layer is formed on an upper portion of the set of fins, gate material being disposed around the set of fins between the top source/drain layer and the bottom source/drain layer.

摘要: A semiconductor structure comprises a semiconductor substrate, and a multi-layer patterning material film stack formed on the semiconductor substrate. The patterning material film stack comprises at least a hard mask layer and a resist layer formed over the hard mask layer. The hard mask layer is configured to support selective deposition of a metal-containing layer on a developed pattern of the resist layer through inclusion in the hard mask layer of one or more materials inhibiting deposition of the metal-containing layer on portions of the hard mask layer corresponding to respective openings in the resist layer. The hard mask layer illustratively comprises, for example, at least one of a grafted self-assembled monolayer configured to inhibit deposition of the metal-containing layer, and a grafted polymer brush material configured to inhibit deposition of the metal-containing layer.

摘要: A tunable amorphous silicon layer for use with multilayer patterning stacks can be used to maximize transparency and minimize reflections so as to improve overlay metrology contrast. By increasing the hydrogen content in the amorphous silicon layer, the extinction coefficient (k) value and the refractive index (n) value can be decreased to desired values. Methods for improving overlay metrology contrast with the tunable amorphous silicon layer are disclosed.

摘要: Gate metal is removed from a region containing transistors such as nanosheet transistors or vertical transport field-effect transistors using techniques that control the undercutting of gate metal in an adjoining region. A dielectric spacer layer is deposited on the transistors. A first etch causes the removal of gate metal over the boundary between the regions with limited undercutting of gate metal beneath the dielectric spacer layer. A subsequent etch removes the gate metal from the transistors in one region while the gate metal in the adjoining region is protected by a buffer layer. Gate dielectric material may also be removed over the boundary between regions.
