摘要: Vertical transport field effect transistors (FETs) having improved device performance are provided. Notably, vertical transport FETs having a gradient threshold voltage are provided. The gradient threshold voltage is provided by introducing a threshold voltage modifying dopant into a physically exposed portion of a metal gate layer composed of an n-type workfunction TiN. The threshold voltage modifying dopant changes the threshold voltage of the original metal gate layer.

摘要: Techniques facilitating three-dimensional monolithic vertical field effect transistor logic gates are provided. A logic device can comprise a first vertical transport field effect transistor formed over and adjacent a substrate and a first bonding film deposited over the first vertical transport field effect transistor. The logic device can also comprise a second vertical transport field effect transistor comprising a second bonding film and stacked on the first vertical transport field effect transistor. The second bonding film can affix the second vertical transport field effect transistor to the first vertical transport field effect transistor.

摘要: The present disclosure relates to integrated circuits and to methods of manufacturing interconnects of integrated circuits. For example, an integrated circuit includes a surface of the integrated circuit and an interconnect formed on the surface and comprising a metal. An average grain size of the metal of the interconnect is greater than or equal to at least half of a line width of the interconnect. In another example, a method for manufacturing an interconnect of an integrated circuit includes depositing a layer of a metal onto a surface of the integrated circuit, annealing the metal, patterning a first hard mask for placement over the metal and forming a line of the interconnect and a first via of the interconnect by performing a timed etch of the metal using the first hard mask.

摘要: Lift-off methods for fabricating metal line patterns on a substrate are provided. For example, a method to fabricate a device includes forming a sacrificial layer on a substrate and forming a photoresist mask over the sacrificial layer, isotropically etching a portion of the sacrificial layer exposed through an opening of the photoresist mask to form an undercut region in the sacrificial layer below the photoresist mask, wherein the undercut region defines an overhang structure, and anisotropically etching a portion of the sacrificial layer exposed through the opening of the photoresist mask to form an opening through the sacrificial layer down to the substrate. Metallic material is deposited to cover the photoresist mask and to at least partially fill the opening formed in the sacrificial layer without coating the overhang structure with metallic material. The sacrificial layer is dissolved to lift-off the metallic material covering the photoresist mask.

摘要: Techniques for VFET gate length control are provided. In one aspect, a method of forming a VFET device includes: patterning fins in a substrate; forming first polymer spacers alongside opposite sidewalls of the fins; forming second polymer spacers offset from the fins by the first polymer spacers; removing the first polymer spacers selective to the second polymer spacers; reflowing the second polymer spacers to close a gap to the fins; forming a cladding layer above the second polymer spacers; removing the second polymer spacers; forming gates along opposite sidewalls of the fins exposed in between the bottom spacers and the cladding layer, wherein the gates have a gate length Lg set by removal of the second polymer spacers; forming top spacers above the cladding layer; and forming top source and drains above the top spacers.

摘要: A method for forming CMOS devices includes masking a first portion of a tensile-strained silicon layer of a SOI substrate, doping a second portion of the layer outside the first portion and growing an undoped silicon layer on the doped portion and the first portion. The undoped silicon layer becomes tensile-strained. Strain in the undoped silicon layer over the doped portion is relaxed by converting the doped portion to a porous silicon to form a relaxed silicon layer. The porous silicon is converted to an oxide. A SiGe layer is grown and oxidized to convert the relaxed silicon layer to a compressed SiGe layer. Fins are etched in the first portion from the tensile-strained silicon layer and the undoped silicon layer and in the second portion from the compressed SiGe layer.
