Semiconductor structures with damascene metal gates and pixel sensor cell shields, methods of manufacture and design structures are provided. The method includes forming a dielectric layer over a dummy gate structure. The method further includes forming one or more recesses in the dielectric layer. The method further includes removing the dummy gate structure in the dielectric layer to form a trench. The method further includes forming metal in the trench and the one more recesses in the dielectric layer to form a damascene metal gate structure in the trench and one or more metal components in the one or more recesses.

Pixel sensor cells, methods of fabricating pixel sensor cells, and design structures for a pixel sensor cell. A transistor in the pixel sensor cell has a gate structure that includes a gate dielectric with a thick region and a thin region. A gate electrode of the gate structure is formed on the thick region of the gate dielectric and the thin region of the gate dielectric. The thick region of the gate dielectric and the thin region of the gate dielectric provide the transistor with an asymmetric threshold voltage.

Pixel sensor cells, methods of fabricating pixel sensor cells, and design structures for a pixel sensor cell. The pixel sensor cell has a gate structure that includes a gate dielectric and a gate electrode on the gate dielectric. The gate electrode includes a layer with first and second sections that have a juxtaposed relationship on the gate dielectric. The second section of the gate electrode is comprised of a conductor, such as doped polysilicon or a metal. The first section of the gate electrode is comprised of a metal having a higher work function than the conductor comprising the second section so that the gate structure has an asymmetric threshold voltage.

摘要:
Disclosed herein are embodiments of a design structure of a multiple fin fin-type field effect transistor (i.e., a multiple fin dual-gate or tri-gate field effect transistor) in which the multiple fins are partially or completely merged by a highly conductive material (e.g., a metal silicide). Merging the fins in this manner allow series resistance to be minimized with little, if any, increase in the parasitic capacitance between the gate and source/drain regions. Merging the semiconductor fins in this manner also allows each of the source/drain regions to be contacted by a single contact via as well as more flexible placement of that contact via.
