The disclosure generally relates to a method for forming multiple III-V Tunnel Field-Effect Transistors (III-V TFETs) microchips in which each TFET has a different threshold voltage (Vt) or work-function. In one embodiment of the disclosure, four TFETs are formed on a substrate. Each TFET has a source, drain and a gate electrode. Each gate electrode is then processed independently to provide a substantially different threshold voltage. Each TFET will have an intrinsic channel.

A method of forming a semiconductor device includes forming first and second semiconductor structures on a semiconductor substrate. The first semiconductor structure includes a first gate channel region having a first gate length, and the second semiconductor structure including a second gate channel region having a second gate length that is greater than the first gate length. The method further includes depositing a work function metal layer in each of a first gate void formed at the first gate channel region and a second gate void formed at the second gate channel region. The method further includes depositing a semiconductor masking layer on the work function metal layer, and simultaneously etching the silicon masking layer located at the first and second gate channel regions to re-expose the first and second gate voids. A low-resistive metal is deposited in the first and second gate voids to form low-resistive metal gate stacks.

After forming a buried nanowire segment surrounded by a gate structure located on a substrate, an epitaxial source region is grown on a first end of the buried nanowire segment while covering a second end of the buried nanowire segment and the gate structure followed by growing an epitaxial drain region on the second end of the buried nanowire segment while covering the epitaxial source region and the gate structure. The epitaxial source region includes a first semiconductor material and dopants of a first conductivity type, while the epitaxial drain region includes a first semiconductor material different from the first semiconductor material and dopants of a second conductivity type opposite the first conductivity type.
摘要:
Selective deposition of a silicon-germanium surface layer on semiconductor surfaces can be employed to provide two types of channel regions for field effect transistors. Anneal of an adjustment oxide material on a stack of a silicon-based gate dielectric and a high dielectric constant (high-k) gate dielectric can be employed to form an interfacial adjustment oxide layer contacting a subset of channel regions. Oxygen deficiency can be induced in portions of the high-k dielectric layer overlying the interfacial adjustment oxide layer by deposition of a first work function metallic material layer and a capping layer and a subsequent anneal. Oxygen deficiency can be selectively removed by physically exposing portions of the high-k dielectric layer. A second work function metallic material layer and a gate conductor layer can be deposited and planarized to form gate electrodes that provide multiple effective work functions.

摘要:
The present invention relates generally to semiconductor devices and more particularly, to a structure and method of forming a high-mobility fin field effect transistor (finFET) fin in a silicon semiconductor on insulator (SOI) substrate by trapping crystalline lattice dislocations that occur during epitaxial growth in a recess formed in a semiconductor layer. The crystalline lattice dislocations may remain trapped below a thin isolation layer, thereby reducing device thickness and the need for high-aspect ratio etching and fin formation.
