A vertical field effect transistor (“FET”) is provided which includes a transistor body region and source and drain regions disposed in a single-crystal semiconductor-on-insulator (“SOI”) region of a substrate adjacent a sidewall of a trench. The substrate includes a buried insulator layer underlying the SOI region and a bulk region underlying the buried insulator layer. A buried strap conductively connects the SOI region to a lower node disposed below the SOI region and a body contact extends from the transistor body region to the bulk region of the substrate, the body contact being insulated from the buried strap.

A semiconductor fabrication method comprises steps of providing a semiconductor structure. The semiconductor structure includes a semiconductor substrate, a trench in the semiconductor substrate. The trench comprises a side wall which includes {100} side wall surfaces and {110} side wall surfaces. The semiconductor structure further includes a blocking layer on the {100} side wall surfaces and the {110} side wall surfaces. The method further comprises the steps of removing portions of the blocking layer on the {110} side wall surfaces without removing portions of the blocking layer on the {100} side wall surfaces such that the {110} side wall surfaces are exposed to a surrounding ambient.

A bonded SOI wafer and a method for forming a bonded SOI wafer are provided. According to the disclosed method, a first semiconductor wafer is provided, having a first dielectric layer disposed at an outer surface of the first wafer and a plurality of dielectric filled trenches extending from the outer surface inwardly into the semiconductor. The outer surface of the first wafer is bonded to the outer surface of a second semiconductor wafer to form a bonded wafer having a bulk semiconductor region, a buried dielectric layer overlying the bulk semiconductor region, and a semiconductor-on-insulator layer overlying the buried dielectric layer, with the dielectric filled trenches extending upwardly from the buried dielectric layer into the semiconductor-on-insulator layer. The thickness of the semiconductor-on-insulator layer is then reduced until uppermost surfaces of at least some of the dielectric filled trenches are at least partially exposed.

A semiconductor structure for a dynamic random access memory (DRAM) cell array that includes a plurality of vertical memory cells built on a semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) wafer and a body contact electrically coupling a semiconductor body and a semiconductor substrate of the SOI wafer. The semiconductor body includes a channel region for the access device of one of the vertical memory cells. The body contact, which extends through a buried dielectric layer of the SOI wafer, provides a current leakage path that reduces the impact of floating body effects upon the vertical memory cell. The body contact may be formed by etching a via that extends through the semiconductor body and buried dielectric layer of the SOI wafer and extends into the substrate and partially filling the via with a conductive material that electrically couples the semiconductor body with the substrate.

Trench type PIN photodetectors are formed by etching two sets of trenches simultaneously in a semiconductor substrate, the wide trenches having a width more than twice as great as the narrow trenches by a process margin; conformally filling both types of trenches with a sacrificial material doped with a first dopant and having a first thickness slightly greater than one half the width of the narrow trenches, so that the wide trenches have a remaining central aperture; stripping the sacrificial material from the wide trenches in an etch that removes a first thickness, thereby emptying the wide trenches; a) filling the wide trenches with a second sacrificial material of opposite polarity; or b) doping the wide trenches from the ambient such as by gas phase doping, plasma doping, ion implantation, liquid phase doping, infusion doping and plasma immersion ion implantation; diffusing the dopants into the substrate, forming p and n regions of the PIN diode; removing the first and the second sacrificial materials, and filling both the wide and the narrow sets of trenches with the same conductive material in contact with the diffused p and n regions.

A method and structure for a memory storage cell in a semiconductor substrate includes forming a dopant source material over a lower portion of a deep trench formed in the substrate. An upper portion of the trench is shaped to a generally rectangular configuration, and the dopant source material is annealed so as to form a buried plate of a trench capacitor. The buried plate is self aligned to the shaped upper portion of the trench.

A method that includes forming a pattern of strained material and relaxed material on a substrate; forming a strained device in the strained material; and forming a non-strained device in the relaxed material is disclosed. In one embodiment, the strained material is silicon (Si) in either a tensile or compressive state, and the relaxed material is Si in a normal state. A buffer layer of silicon germanium (SiGe), silicon carbon (SiC), or similar material is formed on the substrate and has a lattice constant/structure mis-match with the substrate. A relaxed layer of SiGe, SiC, or similar material is formed on the buffer layer and places the strained material in the tensile or compressive state. In another embodiment, carbon-doped silicon or germanium-doped silicon is used to form the strained material. The structure includes a multi-layered substrate having strained and non-strained materials patterned thereon.

Thin semiconductor regions and thick semiconductor regions are formed oven an insulator layer. Thick semiconductor regions include at least one semiconductor fin. A gate conductor layer is patterned to form disposable planar gate electrodes over ETSOI regions and disposable side gate electrodes on sidewalls of semiconductor fins. End portions of the semiconductor fins are vertically recessed to provide thinned fin portions adjacent to an unthinned fin center portion. After appropriate masking by dielectric layers, selective epitaxy is performed on planar source and drain regions of ETSOI field effect transistors (FETs) to form raised source and drain regions. Further, fin source and drain regions are grown on the thinned fin portions. Source and drain regions, fins, and the disposable gate electrodes are planarized. The disposable gate electrodes are replaced with metal gate electrodes. FinFETs and ETSOI FETs are provided on the same semiconductor substrate.
