    Abstract: Disclosed is a semiconductor structure with a photodiode including: a well region with a first-type conductivity in a substrate, a trench in the well region, and multiple conformal semiconductor layers in the trench. The semiconductor layers include a first semiconductor layer, which is, for example, an intrinsic semiconductor layer and lines the trench, and a second semiconductor layer, which has a second-type conductivity and which is on the first semiconductor layer within (but not filling) the trench and which also extends outside the trench onto a dielectric layer. An additional dielectric layer extends over and caps a cavity that is at least partially within the trench such that surfaces of the second semiconductor layer are exposed within the cavity. Fluid inlet/outlet ports extend to the cavity and contacts extend to the well region and to the second semiconductor layer. Also disclosed are methods for forming and using the semiconductor structure.

    Abstract: The disclosure provides a field effect transistor (FET) stack with methods to form the same. The FET stack includes a first transistor over a substrate. The first transistor includes a first active semiconductor material including a first channel region between a first set of source/drain terminals, and a first gate structure over the first channel region. The first gate structure includes a first gate insulator of a first thickness above the first channel region. A second transistor is over the substrate and horizontally separated from the first transistor. A second gate structure of the second transistor may include a second gate insulator of a second thickness above a second channel region, the second thickness being greater than the first thickness. A shared gate node may be coupled to each of the first gate structure and the second gate structure.
