Abstract: Isolation trenches are etched through an active silicon layer overlying a buried oxide on a substrate into the substrate, and through any pad dielectric(s) on the active silicon layer. Lateral epitaxial growth of the active silicon layer forms protrusions into the isolation trenches to a lateral distance of at least about 5 nanometers, and portions of the isolation trenches around the protrusions are filled with dielectric. Raised source/drain regions are formed on portions of the active silicon layer including a dielectric. As a result, misaligned contacts passing around edges of the raised source/drain regions remain spaced apart from sidewalls of the substrate in the isolation trenches.

Abstract: Fin structures and methods of manufacturing fin structures using a dual-material sidewall image transfer mask to enable patterning of sub-lithographic features is disclosed. The method of forming a plurality of fins includes forming a first set of fins having a first pitch. The method further includes forming an adjacent fin to the first set of fins. The adjacent fin and a nearest fin of the first set of fins have a second pitch larger than the first pitch. The first set of fins and the adjacent fin are sub-lithographic features formed using a sidewall image transfer process.

Abstract: An improved bulk FinFET with a punchthrough stopper region, and method of fabrication are disclosed. The dopants used to form the punchthrough stopper are supplied from a shallow trench isolation liner. An anneal diffuses the dopants from the shallow trench isolation liner into the bulk substrate and lower portion of the fins, to form the punchthrough stopper region.
