Abstract: Techniques are provided herein to form semiconductor devices having different work function metals over different devices. The techniques can be used in any number of integrated circuit applications and are particularly useful with respect to gate-all-around (GAA) transistors. In an example, neighboring semiconductor devices each include a different work function to act as the device gate electrode for each semiconductor device. More specifically, a first semiconductor device may be a p-channel GAA transistor with a first work function metal around the various nanoribbons of the transistor, while the second neighboring semiconductor device may be an n-channel GAA transistor with a second work function metal around the various nanoribbons of the transistor. No portions of the first work function metal are present around the nanoribbons of the second semiconductor device and no portions of the second work function metal are present around the nanoribbons of the first semiconductor device.

Abstract: Self-aligned gate endcap (SAGE) architectures with gate-all-around devices, and methods of fabricating self-aligned gate endcap (SAGE) architectures with gate-all-around devices, are described. In an example, an integrated circuit structure includes a semiconductor fin above a substrate and having a length in a first direction. A nanowire is over the semiconductor fin. A gate structure is over the nanowire and the semiconductor fin, the gate structure having a first end opposite a second end in a second direction, orthogonal to the first direction. A pair of gate endcap isolation structures is included, where a first of the pair of gate endcap isolation structures is spaced equally from a first side of the semiconductor fin as a second of the pair of gate endcap isolation structures is spaced from a second side of the semiconductor fin.

Abstract: Integrated circuit structures including increased transistor source/drain (S/D) contact area using a sacrificial S/D layer are provided herein. The sacrificial layer, which includes different material from the S/D material, is deposited into the S/D trenches prior to the epitaxial growth of that S/D material, such that the sacrificial layer acts as a space-holder below the S/D material. During S/D contact processing, the sacrificial layer can be selectively etched relative to the S/D material to at least partially remove it, leaving space below the S/D material for the contact metal to fill. In some cases, the contact metal is also between portions of the S/D material. In some cases, the contact metal wraps around the epi S/D, such as when dielectric wall structures on either side of the S/D region are employed. By increasing the S/D contact area, the contact resistance is reduced, thereby improving the performance of the transistor device.

Abstract: Gate-all-around integrated circuit structures having additive metal gates are described. For example, an integrated circuit structure includes a first vertical arrangement of horizontal nanowires, and a second vertical arrangement of horizontal nanowires. A first gate stack is over the first vertical arrangement of horizontal nanowires, the first gate stack having a P-type conductive layer with a first portion surrounding the nanowires of the first vertical arrangement of horizontal nanowires and a second portion extending laterally beside and spaced apart from the first portion. A second gate stack is over the second vertical arrangement of horizontal nanowires, the second gate stack having an N-type conductive layer with a first portion surrounding the nanowires of the second vertical arrangement of horizontal nanowires and a second portion adjacent to and in contact with the second portion of the P-type conductive layer.

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.
