    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to semiconductor structures and, more particularly, to a single diffusion cut for gate structures and methods of manufacture. The structure includes: a plurality of fin structures composed of semiconductor material; a plurality of replacement gate structures extending over the plurality of fin structures; a plurality of diffusion regions adjacent to the each of the plurality of replacement gate structures; and a single diffusion break between the diffusion regions of the adjacent replacement gate structures, the single diffusion break being filled with an insulator material. In a first cross-sectional view, the single diffusion break extends into the semiconductor material and in a second cross-sectional view, the single diffusion break is devoid of semiconductor material of the plurality of fin structures.

    Abstract: In the manufacture of a FinFET device, an isolation architecture is provided between gate and source/drain contact locations. The isolation architecture may include a low-k spacer layer and a contact etch stop layer. An upper portion of the isolation architecture is removed and replaced with a high-k, etch-selective spacer layer adapted to resist degradation during an etch to open the source/drain contact locations. The high-k spacer layer, in conjunction with a self-aligned contact (SAC) capping layer disposed over the gate and overlapping a sidewall of the isolation layer, forms an improved isolation structure that inhibits short circuits or parasitic capacitance between the gate and source/drain contacts.

    Abstract: A vertical SRAM cell includes a first (1st) inverter having a 1st common gate structure operatively connecting channels of a 1st pull-up (PU) and a 1st pull-down (PD) transistor. A 1st metal contact electrically connects bottom source/drain (S/D) regions of the 1st PU and 1st PD transistors. A second (2nd) inverter has a 2nd common gate structure operatively connecting channels of a 2nd PU and a 2nd PD transistor. A 2nd metal contact electrically connects bottom S/D regions of the 2nd PU and 2nd PD transistors. A 1st cross-coupled contact electrically connects the 2nd common gate structure to the 1st metal contact. The 2nd common gate structure entirely surrounds a perimeter of the 1st cross-coupled contact. A 2nd cross-coupled contact electrically connects the 1st common gate structure to the 2nd metal contact. The 1st common gate structure entirely surrounds a perimeter of the 2nd cross-coupled contact.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate, an insulating layer on a top surface of the substrate, and a first semiconductor transistor on the insulating layer, the transistor including an active region with a source region, a drain region, a channel region between the source and drain regions and a gate structure over the channel region, the gate structure extending beyond the transistor to an adjacent area. An outer well is included in the substrate, an inner well of an opposite type as the outer well situated within the outer well and under the active region and adjacent area, and a contact for the inner well in the adjacent area, the contact surrounding the gate structure. Operating the device includes applying a variable voltage at the contact for the inner well, a threshold voltage for the first transistor being altered by the variable voltage. The inner well and gate may be exposed and contacts created therefor together.

    Abstract: Methods are presented for facilitating fabricating stacked nanowire, field-effect transistors. The methods include: forming a cut mask spacer on a gate structure disposed above multiple layers above a substrate structure, the gate structure including a sidewall spacer along its sidewalls, and the cut mask spacer overlying the sidewall spacer; defining a stack structure by cutting through the multiple layers using the cut mask spacer and gate structure as a mask, and selectively etching at least one layer of the multiple layers to undercut, in part, the mask, where at least one other layer of the multiple layers remains un-etched by the selectively etching; and providing an alignment mask spacer over the gate structure and over end surfaces of the multiple layers below the gate structure, the alignment mask spacer facilitating etching the other layer(s) of the multiple layers to selectively expose, in part, end surfaces of the other layer(s).
