Abstract: Non-planar integrated circuit structures having mitigated source or drain etch from replacement gate process are described. For example, an integrated circuit structure includes a fin or nanowire. A gate stack is over the fin or nanowire. The gate stack includes a gate dielectric and a gate electrode. A first dielectric spacer is along a first side of the gate stack, and a second dielectric spacer is along a second side of the gate stack. The first and second dielectric spacers are over at least a portion of the fin or nanowire. An insulating material is vertically between and in contact with the portion of the fin or nanowire and the first and second dielectric spacers. A first epitaxial source or drain structure is at the first side of the gate stack, and a second epitaxial source or drain structure is at the second side of the gate stack.

Abstract: A transistor structure includes a base and a body over the base. The body comprises a semiconductor material and has a first end portion and a second end portion. A gate structure is wrapped around the body between the first end portion and the second end portion, where the gate structure includes a gate electrode and a dielectric between the gate electrode and the body. A source is in contact with the first end portion and a drain is in contact with the second end portion. A first spacer material is on opposite sides of the gate electrode and above the first end portion. A second spacer material is adjacent the gate structure and under the first end portion of the nanowire body. The second spacer material is below and in contact with a bottom surface of the source and the drain.

Abstract: Gate-all-around integrated circuit structures fabricated using alternate etch selective material, and the resulting structures, are described. For example, an integrated circuit structure includes a vertical arrangement of horizontal nanowires. A gate stack is over the vertical arrangement of horizontal nanowires. A pair of dielectric spacers is along sides of the gate stack and over the vertical arrangement of horizontal nanowires. A metal oxide material is between adjacent ones of the vertical arrangement of horizontal nanowires at a location between the pair of dielectric spacers and the sides of the gate stack.

Abstract: Gate-all-around integrated circuit structures having self-aligned source or drain undercut for varied widths are described. In an example, a structure includes first and second vertical arrangements of nanowires above a substrate, the nanowires of the second vertical arrangement of nanowires having a horizontal width greater than a horizontal width of the nanowires of the first vertical arrangement of nanowires. First and second gate stack portions are over the first and second vertical arrangements of nanowires, respectively. First embedded epitaxial source or drain regions are at ends of the first vertical arrangement of nanowires and extend beneath dielectric sidewalls spacers of the first gate stack portion by a first distance. Second embedded epitaxial source or drain regions are at ends of the second vertical arrangement of nanowires and extend beneath the dielectric sidewalls spacers of the second gate stack portion by a second distance substantially the same as the first distance.
