摘要： Gate-all-around integrated circuit structures having confined epitaxial source or drain structures, are described. For example, an integrated circuit structure includes a plurality of nanowires above a sub-fin. A gate stack is over the plurality of nanowires and the sub-fin. Epitaxial source or drain structures are on opposite ends of the plurality of nanowires. The epitaxial source or drain structures comprise i) a first PMOS epitaxial (pEPI) region of germanium and boron, ii) a second pEPI region of silicon, germanium and boron on the first pEPI region at a contact location, iii) titanium silicide conductive contact material on the second pEPI region.

摘要： 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.

摘要： Embodiments herein describe techniques for a thin-film transistor (TFT) above a substrate. The transistor includes a contact electrode having a conductive material above the substrate, an epitaxial layer above the contact electrode, and a channel layer including a channel material above the epitaxial layer and above the contact electrode. The channel layer is in contact at least partially with the epitaxial layer. A conduction band of the channel material and a conduction band of a material of the epitaxial layer are substantially aligned with an energy level of the conductive material of the contact electrode. A bandgap of the material of the epitaxial layer is smaller than a bandgap of the channel material. Furthermore, a gate electrode is above the channel layer, and separated from the channel layer by a gate dielectric layer. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
