摘要:
Arbitrarily and continuously scalable on-currents can be provided for fin field effect transistors by providing two independent variables for physical dimensions for semiconductor fins that are employed for the fin field effect transistors. A recessed region is formed on a semiconductor layer over a buried insulator layer. A dielectric cap layer is formed over the semiconductor layer. Disposable mandrel structures are formed over the dielectric cap layer and spacer structures are formed around the disposable mandrel structures. Selected spacer structures can be structurally damaged during a masked ion implantation. An etch is employed to remove structurally damaged spacer structures at a greater etch rate than undamaged spacer structures. After removal of the disposable mandrel structures, the semiconductor layer is patterned into a plurality of semiconductor fins having different heights and/or different width. Fin field effect transistors having different widths and/or heights can be subsequently formed.

In a replacement gate scheme, a continuous material layer is deposited on a bottom surface and a sidewall surface in a gate cavity. A vertical portion of the continuous material layer is removed to form a gate component of which a vertical portion does not extend to a top of the gate cavity. The gate component can be employed as a gate dielectric or a work function metal portion to form a gate structure that enhances performance of a replacement gate field effect transistor.

摘要:
A pair of horizontal-step-including trenches are formed in a semiconductor layer by forming a pair of first trenches having a first depth around a gate structure on the semiconductor layer, forming a disposable spacer around the gate structure to cover proximal portions of the first trenches, and by forming a pair of second trenches to a second depth greater than the first depth. The disposable spacer is removed, and selective epitaxy is performed to form an integrated epitaxial source and source extension region and an integrated epitaxial drain and drain extension region. A replacement gate structure can be formed after deposition and planarization of a planarization dielectric layer and subsequent removal of the gate structure and laterally expand the gate cavity over expitaxial source and drain extension regions. Alternately, a contact-level dielectric layer can be deposited directly on the integrated epitaxial regions and contact via structures can be formed therein.

A method includes forming patterned lines on a substrate having a predetermined pitch. The method further includes forming spacer sidewalls on sidewalls of the patterned lines. The method further includes forming material in a space between the spacer sidewalls of adjacent patterned lines. The method further includes forming another patterned line from the material by protecting the material in the space between the spacer sidewalls of adjacent patterned lines while removing the spacer sidewalls. The method further includes transferring a pattern of the patterned lines and the another patterned line to the substrate.

A structure and method for forming isolation and a buried plate for a trench capacitor is disclosed. Embodiments of the structure comprise an epitaxial layer serving as the buried plate, and a bounded deep trench isolation area serving to isolate one or more deep trench structures. Embodiments of the method comprise angular implanting of the deep trench isolation area to form a P region at the base of the deep trench isolation area that serves as an anti-punch through implant.

A method of fabricating a material having nanoscale pores is provided. In one embodiment, the method of fabricating a material having nanoscale pores may include providing a single crystal semiconductor. The single crystal semiconductor layer is then patterned to provide an array of exposed portions of the single crystal semiconductor layer having a width that is equal to the minimum lithographic dimension. The array of exposed portion of the single crystal semiconductor layer is then etched using an etch chemistry having a selectivity for a first crystal plane to a second crystal plane of 100% or greater. The etch process forms single or an array of trapezoid shaped pores, each of the trapezoid shaped pores having a base that with a second width that is less than the minimum lithographic dimension.
