Abstract: A system and method of leveraging sub-resolution assist feature (SRAF) to intentionally distort a feature of a pattern for identification and security purposes. A method of forming an identifier on a semiconductor structure includes: receiving, at a semiconductor manufacturing foundry, a specification of an identifier including a pattern comprising a combination of main features; designing a lithographic mask structure based on the received identifier specification, the lithographic mask structure including mask features corresponding to the specified main features and at least one sub-resolution assist feature (SRAF) structure in a geometrical relationship with a corresponding mask feature for forming, using a lithography process, a uniquely modified identifier pattern comprising a combination of modified main features; and then subsequently lithographically exposing, employing the mask structure, photoresist layers at an optical condition and subsequently developing the photoresist layers to transfer the uniquely modified identifier pattern to a surface of a semiconductor wafer.

Abstract: A transistor structure includes a semiconductor substrate; an NFET channel structure atop the substrate; a PFET channel structure atop the substrate; a first dielectric atop the PFET channel structure; a second dielectric atop the NFET channel structure; a shared internal metal gate atop the dielectrics; a shared ferroelectric layer atop the shared internal metal gate; and a shared external gate electrode atop the shared ferroelectric layer. The first and second dielectrics are doped with different metals that provide differing overall work functions for the PFET and the NFET. A method for making a transistor structure includes depositing a shared dielectric onto an NFET channel structure and a PFET channel structure, and converting the shared dielectric to a first high-k dielectric atop the PFET channel structure and a second high-k dielectric atop the NFET channel structure. The first high-k dielectric and the second high-k dielectric are doped with different metals.

Abstract: Semiconductor devices and methods of forming the same include forming spacers on respective sidewalls above a stack of alternating channel layers and sacrificial layers, leaving an opening between the spacers. The stack is etched, between the spacers, to form a central opening in the stack that separates the channel layers into respective pairs of channel structures. The sacrificial material is etched away to expose top and bottom surfaces of the channel structures. A gate stack is formed on, between, and around the channel structures, including in the central opening between pairs of channel structures.

Abstract: A method for fabricating a semiconductor device comprises forming a first hardmask, a planarizing layer, and a second hardmask on a substrate. Removing portions of the second hardmask and forming alternating blocks of a first material and a second material over the second hardmask. The blocks of the second material are removed to expose portions of the planarizing layer. Exposed portions of the planarizing layer and the first hardmask are removed to expose portions of the first hardmask. Portions of the first hardmask and portions of the substrate are removed to form a first fin and a second fin. Portions of the substrate are removed to further increase the height of the first fin and substantially remove the second fin. A gate stack is formed over a channel region of the first fin.
