Abstract:
A transistor device may be formed with a doped perovskite material as a channel region. The doped perovskite material may be formed via an epitaxial growth process from a seed layer, and the channel regions of the transistor device may be formed from lateral overgrowth from the epitaxial growth process.
Abstract:
A transistor has multiple channel regions coupling source and drain structures, and a seed material is between one of the source or drain structures and a channel material, which includes a metal and a chalcogen. Each channel region may include a nanoribbon. A nanoribbon may have a monocrystalline structure and a thickness of a monolayer, less than 1 nm. A nanoribbon may be free of internal grain boundaries. A nanoribbon may have an internal grain boundary adjacent an end opposite the seed material. The seed material may directly contact the first of the source or drain structures, and the channel material may directly contact the second of the source or drain structures.

Abstract:
Described herein are integrated circuit devices with source and drain (S/D) contacts with barrier regions. The S/D contacts conduct current to and from semiconductor devices, e.g., to the source and drain regions of a transistor. The barrier regions are formed between the S/D region and an inner conductive structure and reduce the Schottky barrier height between the S/D region and the contact. The barrier regions may include one or more carbon layers and one or more metal layers. A metal layer may include niobium, tantalum, aluminum, or titanium.

Embodiments herein describe techniques for a semiconductor device including a Ge substrate. A passivation layer may be formed above the Ge substrate, where the passivation layer may include one or more molecular monolayers with atoms of one or more group 15 elements or group 16 elements. In addition, a low-k interlayer may be above the passivation layer, and a high-k interlayer may be above the low-k interlayer. Furthermore, a metal contact may be above the high-k interlayer. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract:
Techniques related to forming selective gate spacers for semiconductor devices and transistor structures and devices formed using such techniques are discussed. Such techniques include forming a blocking material on a semiconductor fin, disposing a gate having a different surface chemistry than the blocking material on a portion of the blocking material, forming a selective conformal layer on the gate but not on a portion of the blocking material, and removing exposed portions of the blocking material.

Abstract:
Techniques are disclosed for forming through-silicon vias (TSVs) implementing a negative thermal expansion (NTE) material such as zirconium tungstate (ZrW2O8) or hafnium tungstate (HfW2O8). In some cases, the NTE material is disposed between the substrate and conductive core material of the TSV and serves to offset, at least in part, the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) mismatch there between, thus reducing heat-induced stresses and/or protrusion (pumping) of the conductive core material. The NTE material also may protect against leakage, voltage breakdown, and/or diffusion of the conductive core material. Furthermore, the NTE material may reduce radial stresses in high-aspect-ratio TSVs. In some cases, techniques disclosed herein may improve TSV reliability, enhance three-dimensional integration, and/or enhance performance in three-dimensional integrated circuits and/or other three-dimensional packages. Other embodiments which can employ techniques described herein will be apparent in light of this disclosure.
Abstract:
A method of an aspect includes forming a first thicker layer of a first material over a first region having a first surface material by separately forming each of a first plurality of thinner layers by selective chemical reaction. The method also includes limiting encroachment of each of the first plurality of thinner layers over a second region that is adjacent to the first region. A second thicker layer of a second material is formed over the second region having a second surface material that is different than the first surface material.
