Abstract:
Fin field-effect transistor devices and methods of forming the fin field-effect transistor devices are provided herein. In an embodiment, a fin field-effect transistor device includes a semiconductor substrate that has a fin. A gate electrode structure overlies the fin. Source and drain halo and/or extension regions and epitaxially-grown source regions and drain regions are formed in the fin and are disposed adjacent to the gate electrode structure. A body contact is disposed on a contact surface of the fin, and the body contact is spaced separately from the halo and/or extension regions and the epitaxially-grown source regions and drain regions.
Abstract:
Approaches for enabling epitaxial growth of silicon fins in a device (e.g., a fin field effect transistor device (FinFET)) are provided. Specifically, approaches are provided for forming a set of silicon fins for a FinFET device, the FinFET device comprising: a set of gate structures formed over a substrate, each of the set of gate structures including a capping layer and a set of spacers; an oxide fill formed over the set of gate structures; a set of openings formed in the device by removing the capping layer and the set of spacers from one or more of the set of gate structures; a silicon material epitaxially grown within the set of openings in the device and then planarized; and wherein the oxide fill is etched to expose the silicon material and form the set of fins.

Abstract:
Integrated circuits that have a FinFET and methods of fabricating the integrated circuits are provided herein. In an embodiment, a method of fabricating an integrated circuit having a FinFET includes providing a substrate comprising fins. The fins include semiconductor material. A first metal oxide layer is formed over sidewall surfaces of the fins. The first metal oxide layer includes a first metal oxide. The first metal oxide layer is recessed to a depth below a top surface of the fins to form a recessed first metal oxide layer. The top surface and sidewall surfaces of the fins at a top portion of the fins are free from the first metal oxide layer. A gate electrode structure is formed over the top surface and sidewall surfaces of the fins at the top portion of the fins. The recessed first metal oxide layer is recessed beneath the gate electrode structure.
