Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms for operating transistors that are in a stacked configuration. In an embodiment, an integrated circuit (IC) device includes transistors arranged along a line of direction which is orthogonal to a surface of a semiconductor substrate. A first epitaxial structure and a second epitaxial structure are coupled, respectively, to a first channel structure of a first transistor and a second channel structure of a second transistor. The first epitaxial structure and the second epitaxial structure are at different respective levels relative to the surface of the semiconductor substrate. A dielectric material is disposed between the first epitaxial structure and the second epitaxial structure to facilitate electrical insulation of the channels from each other. In another embodiment, the stacked transistors are coupled to provide a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) inverter circuit.

Abstract: Integrated circuit structures having differentiated interconnect lines in a same dielectric layer, and methods of fabricating integrated circuit structures having differentiated interconnect lines in a same dielectric layer, are described. In an example, an integrated circuit structure includes an inter-layer dielectric (ILD) layer above a substrate. A plurality of conductive interconnect lines is in the ILD layer. The plurality of conductive interconnect lines includes a first interconnect line having a first height, and a second interconnect line immediately laterally adjacent to but spaced apart from the first interconnect line, the second interconnect line having a second height less than the first height.

Abstract: Embodiments herein describe techniques for a semiconductor device including a first transistor stacked above and self-aligned with a second transistor, where a shadow of the first transistor substantially overlaps with the second transistor. The first transistor includes a first gate electrode, a first channel layer including a first channel material and separated from the first gate electrode by a first gate dielectric layer, and a first source electrode coupled to the first channel layer. The second transistor includes a second gate electrode, a second channel layer including a second channel material and separated from the second gate electrode by a second gate dielectric layer, and a second source electrode coupled to the second channel layer. The second source electrode is self-aligned with the first source electrode, and separated from the first source electrode by an isolation layer. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract: Embodiments herein describe techniques for an integrated circuit that includes a substrate, a semiconductor device on the substrate, and a contact stack above the substrate and coupled to the semiconductor device. The contact stack includes a contact metal layer, and a semiconducting oxide layer adjacent to the contact metal layer. The semiconducting oxide layer includes a semiconducting oxide material, while the contact metal layer includes a metal with a sufficient Schottky-barrier height to induce an interfacial electric field between the semiconducting oxide layer and the contact metal layer to reject interstitial hydrogen from entering the semiconductor device through the contact stack. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract: Monolithic FETs including a majority carrier channel in a first high carrier mobility semiconductor material disposed over a substrate. While a mask, such as a gate stack or sacrificial gate stack, is covering a lateral channel region, a spacer of a high carrier mobility semiconductor material is overgrown, for example wrapping around a dielectric lateral spacer, to increase effective spacing between the transistor source and drain without a concomitant increase in transistor footprint. Source/drain regions couple electrically to the lateral channel region through the high-mobility semiconductor spacer, which may be substantially undoped (i.e. intrinsic). With effective channel length for a given lateral gate dimension increased, the transistor footprint for a given off-state leakage may be reduced or off-state source/drain leakage for a given transistor footprint may be reduced, for example.
