Abstract: Gate-all-around integrated circuit structures having strained dual nanowire/nanoribbon channel structures, and methods of fabricating gate-all-around integrated circuit structures having strained dual nanowire/nanoribbon channel structures, are described. For example, an integrated circuit structure includes a first vertical arrangement of nanowires above a substrate. Individual ones of the first vertical arrangement of nanowires are biaxially tensilely strained. The integrated circuit structure also includes a second vertical arrangement of nanowires above the substrate. Individual ones of the second vertical arrangement of nanowires are biaxially compressively strained. The individual ones of the second vertical arrangement of nanowires are laterally staggered with the individual ones of the first vertical arrangement of nanowires.

Abstract: Embodiments herein describe techniques for a thin-film transistor (TFT), which may include a substrate and a transistor above the substrate. The transistor includes a channel layer above the substrate, where the channel layer includes a first region and a second region, and the first region has a first dopant concentration. A gate electrode is above the first region of the channel layer and separated from the channel layer by a gate dielectric layer. A spacer is next to the gate electrode to separate the gate electrode from a drain electrode or a source electrode above the channel layer. The spacer includes a dopant material in contact with the second region of the channel layer, and the second region has a second dopant concentration different from the first dopant concentration in the first region. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract: Deep gate-all-around semiconductor devices having germanium or group III-V active layers are described. For example, a non-planar semiconductor device includes a hetero-structure disposed above a substrate. The hetero-structure includes a hetero-junction between an upper layer and a lower layer of differing composition. An active layer is disposed above the hetero-structure and has a composition different from the upper and lower layers of the hetero-structure. A gate electrode stack is disposed on and completely surrounds a channel region of the active layer, and is disposed in a trench in the upper layer and at least partially in the lower layer of the hetero-structure. Source and drain regions are disposed in the active layer and in the upper layer, but not in the lower layer, on either side of the gate electrode stack.

Abstract: III-N transistors with recessed gates. An epitaxial stack includes a doped III-N source/drain layer and a III-N etch stop layer disposed between a the source/drain layer and a III-N channel layer. An etch process, e.g., utilizing photochemical oxidation, selectively etches the source/drain layer over the etch stop layer. A gate electrode is disposed over the etch stop layer to form a recessed-gate III-N HEMT. At least a portion of the etch stop layer may be oxidized with a gate electrode over the oxidized etch stop layer for a recessed gate III-N MOS-HEMT including a III-N oxide. A high-k dielectric may be formed over the oxidized etch stop layer with a gate electrode over the high-k dielectric to form a recessed gate III-N MOS-HEMT having a composite gate dielectric stack.

Abstract: An embodiment includes depositing a material onto a substrate where the material includes a different lattice constant than the substrate (e.g., III-V or IV epitaxial (EPI) material on a Si substrate). An embodiment includes an EPI layer formed within a trench having walls that narrow as the trench extends upwards. An embodiment includes an EPI layer formed within a trench using multiple growth temperatures. A defect barrier, formed in the EPI layer when the temperature changes, contains defects within the trench and below the defect barrier. The EPI layer above the defect barrier and within the trench is relatively defect free. An embodiment includes an EPI layer annealed within a trench to induce defect annihilation. An embodiment includes an EPI superlattice formed within a trench and covered with a relatively defect free EPI layer (that is still included in the trench). Other embodiments are described herein.
