Abstract: Aligned pitch-quartered patterning approaches for lithography edge placement error advanced rectification are described. For example, a method of fabricating a semiconductor structure includes forming a first patterned hardmask on a semiconductor substrate. A second hardmask layer is formed on the semiconductor substrate. A segregated di-block co-polymer is formed on the first patterned hardmask and on the second hardmask layer. Second polymer blocks are removed from the segregated di-block co-polymer. A second patterned hardmask is formed from the second hardmask layer and a plurality of semiconductor fins is formed in the semiconductor substrate using first polymer blocks as a mask. A first fin of the plurality of semiconductor fins is removed. Subsequent to removing the first fin, a second fin of the plurality of semiconductor fins is removed.

Abstract: Stacked transistor structures having a conductive interconnect between upper and lower transistors. In an embodiment, the interconnect is formed by first provisioning a protective layer over an area to be protected (gate dielectric or other sensitive material) of upper transistor, and then etching material adjacent and below the protected area to expose an underlying contact point of lower transistor. A metal is deposited into the void created by the etch to provide the interconnect. The protective layer is resistant to the etch process and is preserved in the structure, and in some cases may be utilized as a work-function metal. In an embodiment, the protective layer is formed by deposition of reactive semiconductor and metal material layers which are subsequently transformed into a work function metal or work function metal-containing compound. A remnant of unreacted reactive semiconductor material may be left in structure and collinear with protective layer.

Abstract: Backside contact structures include etch selective materials to facilitate backside contact formation. An integrated circuit structure includes a frontside contact region, a device region below the frontside contact region, and a backside contact region below the device region. The device region includes a transistor. The backside contact region includes a first dielectric material under a source or drain region of the transistor, a second dielectric material laterally adjacent to the first dielectric material and under a gate structure of the transistor. A non-conductive spacer is between the first and second dielectric materials. The first and second dielectric materials are selectively etchable with respect to one another and the spacer. The backside contact region may include an interconnect feature that, for instance, passes through the first dielectric material and contacts a bottom side of the source/drain region, and/or passes through the second dielectric material and contacts the gate structure.

Abstract: A method including forming a target pattern of a target material on a surface of a substrate; depositing a block copolymer on the surface of the substrate, wherein one of two blocks of the block copolymer preferentially aligns to the target material and the two blocks self assemble after deposition into repeating lamellar bodies on the surface of the substrate; selectively retaining one of the two blocks of the block copolymer over the other as a polymer pattern; and patterning the substrate with the polymer pattern. An apparatus including an integrated circuit substrate including a plurality of contact points and a dielectric layer on the contact points; a target pattern formed in a surface of the dielectric layer; and a self-assembled layer of repeating alternating bodies of a block copolymer, wherein one of two blocks of the block copolymer is preferentially aligned to the target pattern.

Abstract: An integrated circuit structure comprises a lower device layer that includes a first structure comprising a first set of transistor fins and a first set of contact metallization. An upper device layer is bonded onto the lower device layer, where the upper device layer includes a second structure comprising a second set of transistor fins and a second set of contact metallization. At least one power isolation wall extends from a top of the upper device layer to the bottom of the lower device layer, wherein the power isolation wall is filled with a conductive material such that power is routed between transistor devices on the upper device layer and the lower device layer.

Abstract: An integrated circuit die, a semiconductor structure, and a method of fabricating the semiconductor structure are disclosed. The integrated circuit die includes a substrate and a first anchor and a second anchor disposed on the substrate in a first plane. The integrated circuit die also includes a first wire disposed on the first anchor in the first plane, a third wire disposed on the second anchor in the first plane, and a second wire and a fourth wire suspended above the substrate in the first plane. The second wire is disposed between the first wire and the third wire and the third wire is disposed between the second wire and the fourth wire. The integrated circuit die further includes a dielectric material disposed between upper portions of the first wire, the second wire, the third wire, and the fourth wire to encapsulate an air gap.
