Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for providing an integrated circuit structure having NMOS transistors including an arsenic-doped interface layer between epitaxially grown source/drain regions and a channel region. The arsenic-doped interface layer may include, for example, arsenic-doped silicon (Si:As) having arsenic concentrations in a range of about 1E20 atoms per cm3 to about 5E21 atoms per cm3. The interface layer may have a relatively uniform thickness in a range of about 0.5 nm to full fill where the entire source/drain region is composed of the Si:As. In cases where the arsenic-doped interface layer only partially fills the source/drain regions, another n-type doped semiconductor material can fill remainder (e.g., phosphorus-doped III-V compound or silicon). The use of a layer having a high arsenic concentration can provide improved NMOS performance in the form of abrupt junctions in the source/drain regions and highly conductive source/drain regions with negligible diffusion of arsenic into the channel region.

Abstract: A transistor includes a body of semiconductor material with a gate structure in contact with a portion of the body. A source region contacts the body adjacent the gate structure and a drain region contacts the body adjacent the gate structure such that the portion of the body is between the source region and the drain region. A first isolation region is under the source region and has a top surface in contact with a bottom surface of the source region. A second isolation region is under the drain region and has a top surface in contact with a bottom surface of the drain region. Depending on the transistor configuration, a major portion of the inner-facing sidewalls of the first and second isolation regions contact respective sidewalls of either a subfin structure (e.g., FinFET transistor configurations) or a lower portion of a gate structure (e.g., gate-all-around transistor configuration).

Abstract: A transistor includes a body of semiconductor material, where the body has laterally opposed body sidewalls and a top surface. A gate structure contacts the top surface of the body. A source region contacts a first one of the laterally opposed body sidewalls and a drain region contacts a second one of the laterally opposed body sidewalls. A first isolation region is under the source region and has a top surface in contact with a bottom surface of the source region. A second isolation region is under the drain region and has a top surface in contact with a bottom surface of the drain region.

Abstract: Integrated circuit structures having source or drain structures with abrupt dopant profiles are described. In an example, an integrated circuit structure includes a vertical arrangement of horizontal nanowires. A gate stack is around the vertical arrangement of horizontal nanowires. A first epitaxial source or drain structure is at a first end of the vertical arrangement of horizontal nanowires. A second epitaxial source or drain structure is at a second end of the vertical arrangement of horizontal nanowires. The first and second epitaxial source or drain structures include silicon, phosphorous and arsenic, with an atomic concentration of phosphorous substantially the same as an atomic concentration of arsenic.

Abstract: Transistors having a plurality of channel semiconductor structures, such as fins, over a dielectric material. A source and drain are coupled to opposite ends of the structures and a gate stack intersects the plurality of structures between the source and drain. Lateral epitaxial overgrowth (LEO) may be employed to form a super-lattice of a desired periodicity from a sidewall of a fin template structure that is within a trench and extends from the dielectric material. Following LEO, the super-lattice structure may be planarized with surrounding dielectric material to expose a top of the super-lattice layers. Alternating ones of the super-lattice layers may then be selectively etched away, with the retained layers of the super-lattice then laterally separated from each other by a distance that is a function of the super-lattice periodicity. A gate dielectric and a gate electrode may be formed over the retained super-lattice layers for a channel of a transistor.

Abstract: Solid-state assemblies including dielectric lining layers having localized charges are provided. Processes to form the solid-state assemblies also are provided. The solid-state assemblies can included in CMOS transistors, where first dielectric lining layers having localized charges of positive polarity can be adjacent to the PMOS member and a second dielectric lining layers having localized charges of positive polarity can be adjacent to an NMOS member. The first dielectric lining layers can be adjacent to a first gate electrode of the CMOS transistor, and the second dielectric lining can be adjacent to a second gate electrode of the CMOS transistor. The first dielectric lining layers and the second dielectric lining layers can improve, at least in part, the performance of the CMOS transistor by attracting mobile carriers into respective transport channels of the PMOS member and the NMOS member.
