摘要: A gate-all-around field effect transistor (GAAFET) and method. The GAAFET includes nanosheets, a gate around center portions of the nanosheets, and inner spacers aligned below end portions. The nanosheet end portions are tapered from the source/drain regions to the gate and the inner spacers are tapered from the gate to the source/drain regions. Each inner spacer includes: a first spacer layer, which has a uniform thickness and extends laterally from the gate to an adjacent source/drain region; a second spacer layer, which fills the space between a planar top surface of the first spacer layer and a tapered end portion of the nanosheet above; and, for all but the lowermost inner spacers, a third spacer layer, which is the same material as the second spacer layer and which fills the space between a planar bottom surface of the first spacer layer and a tapered end portion of the nanosheet below.

摘要: Methods of forming a field-effect transistor and structures for a field effect-transistor. A sidewall spacer is formed adjacent to a sidewall of a gate structure of the field-effect transistor and a dielectric cap is formed over the gate structure and the sidewall spacer. A cut is formed that extends through the dielectric cap, the gate structure, and the sidewall spacer. After forming the cut, the sidewall spacer is removed from beneath the dielectric cap to define a cavity, and a dielectric material is deposited in the cut and in the cavity. The dielectric material encapsulates a portion of the cavity to define an airgap spacer.

摘要: A method of forming semiconductor devices that includes forming an oxide that is doped with a punch through dopant on a surface of a first semiconductor material having a first lattice dimension, and diffusing punch through dopant from the oxide into the semiconductor material to provide a punch through stop region. The oxide may then be removed. A second semiconductor material may be formed having a second lattice dimension on the first semiconductor material having the first lattice dimension. A difference between the first lattice dimension and the second lattice dimension forms a strain in the second semiconductor material. A gate structure and source and drain regions are formed on the second semiconductor material.

摘要: Structures for a nanosheet field-effect transistor and methods for forming a structure for a nanosheet field-effect transistor. A fin is formed that includes a first nanosheet channel layer and a second nanosheet channel layer arranged in a vertical stack. A cavity is formed between a portion of the first nanosheet channel layer and a portion of the second nanosheet channel layer. An epitaxially-grown source/drain region is connected with the portion of the first nanosheet channel layer and the portion of the second nanosheet channel layer. A gate structure is formed that includes a section located in a space between the first nanosheet channel layer and the second nanosheet channel layer. The cavity is surrounded by the first nanosheet channel layer, the second nanosheet channel layer, the section of the gate structure, and the source/drain region to define an air gap spacer.

摘要: One illustrative method disclosed includes selectively forming sacrificial conductive source/drain cap structures on and in contact with first and second source/drain contact structures positioned on opposite sides of a gate of a transistor and removing and replacing the spaced-apart sacrificial conductive source/drain cap structures with first and second separate, laterally spaced-apart insulating source/drain cap structures that are positioned on the first and second source/drain contact structures. The method also includes forming a gate contact opening that extends through a space between the insulating source/drain cap structures and through the gate cap so as to expose a portion of the gate structure and forming a conductive gate contact structure (CB) that is conductively coupled to the gate structure.

摘要: Disclosed is a method of forming a vertical pillar-type field effect transistor (FET). One or more semiconductor pillars are formed by epitaxial deposition in one or more openings, respectively, that extend through a first dielectric layer and that have high aspect ratios in two directions. The first dielectric layer is etched back and the following components are formed laterally surrounding the semiconductor pillar(s): a first source/drain region above and adjacent to the first dielectric layer, a second dielectric layer on the first source/drain region, a gate on the second dielectric layer and a gate cap on the gate. The gate cap extends over the top surface(s) of the semiconductor pillar(s). A recess is formed in the gate cap to expose at least the top surface(s) of the semiconductor pillar(s) and a second source/drain region is formed within the recess. Also disclosed is the vertical pillar-type FET structure.
