Abstract:
According to one aspect, a method of fabricating a semiconductor structure includes cutting a semiconductor fin extending along a substrate. Cutting the semiconductor fin can comprise forming a fin cut mask. The fin cut mask can define a number of masked regions and a number of cut regions. The method can include cutting the fin into a number of fin parts by etching the fin in the cut regions. The method can further comprise forming an epitaxial semiconductor capping layer on the fin prior to forming the fin cut mask or on the fin parts subsequent to cutting the fin. A capping layer material and a fin material can be lattice mismatched. According to another aspect, a corresponding semiconductor structure comprises fin parts.
Abstract:
The disclosed technology generally relates to semiconductor devices, and more particularly to different types of transistors having different channel materials. In one aspect, a method of fabricating a semiconductor device includes providing a substrate comprising a silicon substrate having a main surface oriented in a {100} crystal plane and having a notch oriented in a direction. The method additionally includes forming a plurality of silicon protrusions in a first predetermined region by recessing portions of the main surface surrounding the silicon protrusions. The method additionally includes forming shallow trench isolation (STI) structures adjacent to the silicon protrusions to electrically isolate the silicon protrusions, thereby defining channel areas of a transistor of a first type. The method further includes removing at least upper portions of the silicon protrusions, thereby forming trenches between neighboring STI structures and filling the trenches with a III-V material.
