    摘要: One method herein includes forming a plurality of spaced-apart trenches that extend at least partially into a semiconducting substrate, wherein the trenches define a fin structure comprised of first and second layers of semiconducting material, wherein the first layer of semiconducting material is selectively etchable relative to the substrate and the second layer of semiconducting material, forming a sacrificial gate structure above the fin, wherein the gate structure includes a gate insulation layer and a gate electrode, forming a sidewall spacer adjacent the gate structure, performing an etching process to remove the sacrificial gate structure, thereby defining a gate cavity, performing at least one selective etching process to selectively remove the first layer of semiconducting material relative to the second layer of semiconducting material within the gate cavity, thereby defining a space between the second semiconducting material and the substrate, and forming a final gate structure in the gate cavity.

    摘要: Various methods are disclosed herein for forming alternative fin materials that are in a stable or metastable condition. In one case, a metastable replacement fin is grown to a height that is greater than an unconfined stable critical thickness of the replacement fin material and it has a defect density of 105 defects/cm2 or less throughout at least 90% of its entire height. In another case, a metastable replacement fin is grown to a height that is greater than an unconfined metastable critical thickness of the replacement fin material and it has a defect density of 105 defects/cm2 or less throughout at least 90% of its entire height.

    摘要: Various methods are disclosed herein for forming alternative fin materials that are in a stable or metastable condition. In one case, a stable replacement fin is grown to a height that is greater than an unconfined stable critical thickness of the replacement fin material and it has a defect density of 104 defects/cm2 or less throughout its entire height. In another case, a metastable replacement fin is grown to a height that is greater than an unconfined metastable critical thickness of the replacement fin material and it has a defect density of 105 defects/cm2 or less throughout at least 90% of its entire height.

    摘要: Methods are provided for fabricating integrated circuits. In accordance with one embodiment, the method includes forming a portion of a semiconductor substrate at least partially bounded by a confinement isolation material. A liner dielectric is formed overlying the confinement isolation material and is treated to passivate a surface thereof. An epitaxial layer of semiconductor material is then grown overlying the portion of semiconductor substrate.
