摘要:
An integrated circuit includes a semiconducting substrate (110), electrically conductive layers (120) over the semiconducting substrate, and a capacitor (130) at least partially embedded within the semiconducting substrate such that the capacitor is entirely underneath the electrically conductive layers. A storage node voltage is on an outside layer (132) of the capacitor. In the same or another embodiment, the integrated circuit may act as a 1T-1C embedded memory cell including the semiconducting substrate, an electrically insulating stack (160) over the semiconducting substrate, a transistor (140) including a source/drain region (142) within the semiconducting substrate and a gate region (141) above the semiconducting substrate, a trench (111) extending through the electrically insulating layers and into the semiconducting substrate, a first electrically insulating layer (131) located within the trench, and the capacitor located within the trench interior to the first electrically insulating layer.

Embodiments of the invention relate to a method of fabricating logic transistors using replacement metal gate (RMG) logic flow with modified process to form recessed channel array transistors (RCAT) on a common semiconductor substrate. An embodiment comprises forming an interlayer dielectric (ILD) layer on a semiconductor substrate, forming a first recess in the ILD layer of a first substrate region, forming a recessed channel in the ILD layer and in the substrate of a second substrate region, depositing a first conformal high-k dielectric layer in the first recess and a second conformal high-k dielectric layer in the recessed channel, and filling the first recess with a first gate metal and the recessed channel with a second gate metal.

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.
摘要:
Non-planar semiconductor devices having channel regions with low band-gap cladding layers are described. For example, a semiconductor device includes a vertical arrangement of a plurality of nanowires disposed above a substrate. Each nanowire includes an inner region having a first band gap and an outer cladding layer surrounding the inner region. The cladding layer has a second, lower band gap. A gate stack is disposed on and completely surrounds the channel region of each of the nanowires. The gate stack includes a gate dielectric layer disposed on and surrounding the cladding layer and a gate electrode disposed on the gate dielectric layer. Source and drain regions are disposed on either side of the channel regions of the nanowires.
