Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for achieving multiple fin dimensions on a single die or semiconductor substrate. In some cases, multiple fin dimensions are achieved by lithographically defining (e.g., hardmasking and patterning) areas to be trimmed using a trim etch process, leaving the remainder of the die unaffected. In some such cases, the trim etch is performed on only the channel regions of the fins, when such channel regions are re-exposed during a replacement gate process. The trim etch may narrow the width of the fins being trimmed (or just the channel region of such fins) by 2-6 nm, for example. Alternatively, or in addition, the trim may reduce the height of the fins. The techniques can include any number of patterning and trimming processes to enable a variety of fin dimensions and/or fin channel dimensions on a given die, which may be useful for integrated circuit and system-on-chip (SOC) applications.

Abstract: An apparatus is described. The apparatus includes a FINFET device having a channel. The channel is composed of a first semiconductor material that is epitaxially grown on a subfin structure beneath the channel. The subfin structure is composed of a second semiconductor material that is different than the first semiconductor material. The subfm structure is epitaxially grown on a substrate composed of a third semiconductor material that is different than the first and second semiconductor materials. The subfin structure has a doped region to substantially impede leakage currents between the channel and the substrate.

Abstract: Crystalline heterostructures including an elevated fin structure extending from a sub-fin structure over a substrate. Devices, such as III-V transistors, may be formed on the raised fin structures while silicon-based devices (e.g., transistors) may be formed in other regions of the silicon substrate. A sub-fin isolation material localized to a transistor channel region of the fin structure may reduce source-to-drain leakage through the sub-fin, improving electrical isolation between source and drain ends of the fin structure. Subsequent to heteroepitaxially forming the fin structure, a portion of the sub-fin may be laterally etched to undercut the fin. The undercut is backfilled with sub-fin isolation material. A gate stack is formed over the fin. Formation of the sub-fin isolation material may be integrated into a self-aligned gate stack replacement process.
