Abstract: Gate-all-around integrated circuit structures having depopulated channel structures, and methods of fabricating gate-all-around integrated circuit structures having depopulated channel structures using a bottom-up oxidation approach, are described. For example, an integrated circuit structure includes a vertical arrangement of nanowires above a substrate. The vertical arrangement of nanowires has one or more active nanowires above one or more oxidized nanowires. A gate stack is over the vertical arrangement of nanowires and around the one or more oxidized nanowires.

Abstract: Stacked transistor structures having a conductive interconnect between source/drain regions of upper and lower transistors. In some embodiments, the interconnect is provided, at least in part, by highly doped epitaxial material deposited in the upper transistor’s source/drain region. In such cases, the epitaxial material seeds off of an exposed portion of semiconductor material of or adjacent to the upper transistor’s channel region and extends downward into a recess that exposes the lower transistor’s source/drain contact structure. The epitaxial source/drain material directly contacts the lower transistor’s source/drain contact structure, to provide the interconnect. In other embodiments, the epitaxial material still seeds off the exposed semiconductor material of or proximate to the channel region and extends downward into the recess, but need not contact the lower contact structure. Rather, a metal-containing contact structure passes through the epitaxial material of the upper source/drain region and contacts the lower transistor’s source/drain contact structure.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure describe techniques for revealing a backside of an integrated circuit (IC) device, and associated configurations. The IC device may include a plurality of fins formed on a semiconductor substrate (e.g., silicon substrate), and an isolation oxide may be disposed between the fins along the backside of the IC device. A portion of the semiconductor substrate may be removed to leave a remaining portion. The remaining portion may be removed by chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) using a selective slurry to reveal the backside of the IC device. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to formation of fins with different active channel heights in a tri-gate or a Fin-FET device. In an embodiment, at least two fins are formed on a front side of the substrate. A gate structure extends over a top surface and a pair of sidewalls of at least a portion of the fins. In an embodiment, the substrate is thinned to expose the bottom surface of the fins. Next, backside etching may be performed on each fin to form active channel regions. The fins may be recessed to different depths, forming active channel regions with differing heights.
