Abstract: Fin trim plug structures for imparting channel stress are described. In an example, an integrated circuit structure includes a fin including silicon, the fin having a top and sidewalls. The fin has a trench separating a first fin portion and a second fin portion. A first gate structure including a gate electrode is over the top of and laterally adjacent to the sidewalls of the first fin portion. A second gate structure including a gate electrode is over the top of and laterally adjacent to the sidewalls of the second fin portion. An isolation structure is in the trench of the fin, the isolation structure between the first gate structure and the second gate structure. The isolation structure includes a first dielectric material laterally surrounding a recessed second dielectric material distinct from the first dielectric material, the recessed second dielectric material laterally surrounding an oxidation catalyst layer.

Abstract: Gate all around semiconductor devices, such as nanowire or nanoribbon devices, are described that include a low dielectric constant (“low-k”) material disposed between a first nanowire closest to the substrate and the substrate. This configuration enables gate control over all surfaces of the nanowires in a channel region of a semiconductor device via the high-k dielectric material, while also preventing leakage current from the first nanowire into the substrate.

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 having depopulated channel structures, and methods of fabricating gate-all-around integrated circuit structures having depopulated channel structures using a bottom-up approach, are described. For example, integrated circuit structure includes a first vertical arrangement of nanowires and a second vertical arrangement of nanowires above a substrate. The first vertical arrangement of nanowires has a greater number of nanowires than the second vertical arrangement of nanowires. The first vertical arrangement of nanowires has an uppermost nanowire co-planar with an uppermost nanowire of the second vertical arrangement of nanowires. The first vertical arrangement of nanowires has a bottommost nanowire below a bottommost nanowire of the second vertical arrangement of nanowires. A first gate stack is over the first vertical arrangement of nanowires. A second gate stack is over the second vertical arrangement of nanowires.
