    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a multiple fin field effect transistor (finFET) with low-resistance gate structure. A metallization line is formed in parallel with the gate, and multiple contacts are formed over the fins which connect the metallization line to the gate. The metallization line provides reduced gate resistance, which allows fewer transistors to be used for providing In-Out (IO) functionality, thereby providing space savings that enable an increase in circuit density.

    Abstract: A method for fabricating a finFET integrated circuit includes providing a finFET integrated circuit structure including a fin structure, a replacement metal gate structure having a silicon nitride cap disposed over and in contact with the fin structure, a contact structure including a tungsten material also disposed over and in contact with the fin structure, and an insulating layer disposed over the replacement metal gate structure and the contact structure. The method further includes forming a first opening in the insulating layer over the replacement gate structure and a second opening in the insulating layer over the contact structure. Forming the first and second openings includes exposing the FinFET integrated circuit structure to a single extreme ultraviolet lithography patterning. Still further, the method includes removing a portion of the silicon nitride material of the replacement metal gate structure and forming a metal fill material in the first and second openings.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to semiconductor structures and, more particularly, to self-aligned buried power rail structures and methods of manufacture. The method includes: forming at least one fin structure of a first dimension in a substrate; forming at least one fin structure of a second dimension in the substrate; removing at least a portion of the at least one fin structure of the second dimension to form a trench; filling the trench with conductive metal to form a buried power rail structure within the trench; and forming a contact to the buried power rail structure.

    Abstract: A method includes forming a plurality of fins above a substrate. A first placeholder gate electrode is formed above the plurality of fins. The first placeholder gate electrode includes a placeholder material. A first sacrificial gate cut structure of a sacrificial material different than the placeholder material embedded in the first placeholder gate electrode is formed. A portion of the first placeholder gate electrode positioned above the first sacrificial gate cut structure is removed, exposing the first sacrificial gate cut structure. The first sacrificial gate cut structure is removed to define a gate cut cavity extending vertically through the first placeholder gate electrode. A dielectric material is formed in the gate cut cavity to define a gate cut structure. The first placeholder gate electrode is removed to define a first gate cavity segmented by the gate cut structure. A first replacement gate structure is formed in the first gate cavity.

    Abstract: Structures including metallization layers and metal lines, and methods of forming thereof. A patterning stack, a masking layer, and a spacer patterning layer are formed over a dielectric layer, and an opening is formed in the spacer patterning layer. First and second spacers are formed on a portion of the masking layer at sidewalls of an opening in the spacer patterning layer. The first spacer and the second spacer overlie and traverse first portions of the dummy line. After removing the spacer patterning layer and masking layer, second portions of the dummy line are removed to form a feature in the patterning stack that includes a first gap beneath the first spacer and a second gap beneath the second spacer. A metal line is formed in the dielectric layer using the feature, and includes cuts at the first gap and the second gap in the feature.
