    Abstract: A method of forming a transistor device is provided. The method includes forming a plurality of gate structures including a gate spacer and a gate electrode on a substrate, wherein the plurality of gate structures are separated from each other by a source/drain contact. The method further includes reducing the height of the gate electrodes to form gate troughs, and forming a gate liner on the gate electrodes and gate spacers. The method further includes forming a gate cap on the gate liner, and reducing the height of the source/drain contacts between the gate structures to form a source/drain trough. The method further includes forming a source/drain liner on the source/drain contacts and gate spacers, wherein the source/drain liner is selectively etchable relative to the gate liner, and forming a source/drain cap on the source/drain liner.

    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a method of forming a semiconductor device and resulting structures that reduce shallow trench isolation (STI) undercutting, floating gates, and gate voids without degrading epitaxy quality. The method includes forming a first and second semiconductor fin on a substrate. A buffer layer is formed on a surface of the substrate between the first and second semiconductor fins and a semiconducting layer is formed on the buffer layer. The buffer layer is selectively removed and replaced with a dielectric layer. A first gate is formed over a first channel region of the first semiconductor fin and a second gate is formed over a second channel region of the first semiconductor fin. Source and drain epitaxy regions are selectively formed on surfaces of the first gate.

    Abstract: A pair of vertical fin field effect transistors (FinFETs) having different gate lengths, includes, a first bottom source/drain on a first region of a substrate, wherein the first bottom source/drain includes a first tier having a first height adjacent to a first vertical fin and a second tier having a second height greater than the first tier removed from the first vertical fin; and a second bottom source/drain on a second region of the substrate, wherein the second bottom source/drain includes a third tier having a third height adjacent to a second vertical fin and a fourth tier having a fourth height greater than the third tier removed from the second vertical fin, wherein the third height is less than the first height and the fourth height is equal to the second height.
