Abstract: A nanosheet device includes a bottom dielectric isolation formed by a first portion of a high-k dielectric layer above a semiconductor substrate, a spacer material above the first portion of the high-k dielectric layer and a second portion of the high-k dielectric layer above the spacer material. A sequence of semiconductor channel layers are stacked perpendicularly to the semiconductor substrate above the bottom dielectric isolation and are separated by and vertically aligned with a metal gate stack. Source/drain regions extend laterally from opposite ends of the semiconductor channel layers with a bottom surface of the source/drain regions being in direct contact with the bottom dielectric isolation for electrically isolating the source/drain regions from the semiconductor substrate.

Abstract: A nonplanar MOSFET device such as a FinFET or a sacked nanosheets/nanowires FET has a substrate, one or more nonplanar channels disposed on the substrate, and a gate stack enclosing the nonplanar channels. A first source/drain (S/D) region is disposed on the substrate on a source side of the nonplanar channel and second S/D region is disposed on the substrate on a drain side of the nonplanar channel. The first and second S/D regions made of silicon-germanium (SiGe). In some embodiments, both S/D regions are p-type doped. Contact trenches provide a metallic electrical connection to the first and the second source/drain (S/D) regions. The S/D regions have two parts, a first part with a first concentration of germanium (Ge) and a second part with a second, higher Ge concentration that is a surface layer having convex shape and aligned with one of the contact trenches.

Abstract: Channel engineering is employed to obtain a gate-all-around field-effect transistor having an asymmetric threshold voltage. A dual channel profile enables a steep potential distribution near the source side that enhances the lateral channel electric field and thus increases the carrier mobility.
