    摘要: A substrate structure for a nanosheet transistor includes a plurality of nanosheet layers and a plurality of recesses between the nanosheet layers. The substrate structure includes at least one trench through portions of the nanosheet layers, the sacrificial layers, and the substrate. The substrate structure includes a u-shaped portion formed at a bottom portion of the at least one trench. The u-shaped portion includes a bottom cavity. The substrate structure further includes a first liner disposed upon the u-shaped portion of the at least one trench, and a second liner disposed on the first liner. The substrate structure further includes a third liner disposed within the at least one trench to fill the bottom cavity of the u-shaped portion to form a bottom inner spacer within the bottom cavity.

    摘要: A sequence of semiconductor processing steps permits formation of both vertical and horizontal nanometer-scale serpentine resistors and parallel plate capacitors within a common structure. The method of fabricating such a structure cleverly takes advantage of a CMP process non-uniformity in which the CMP polish rate of an insulating material varies according to a certain underlying topography. By establishing such topography underneath a layer of the insulating material, different film thicknesses of the insulator can be created in different areas by leveraging differential polish rates, thereby avoiding the use of a lithography mask. In one embodiment, a plurality of resistors and capacitors can be formed as a compact integrated structure within a common dielectric block, using a process that requires only two mask layers. The resistors and capacitors thus formed as a set of integrated circuit elements are suitable for use as microelectronic fuses and antifuses, respectively, to protect underlying microelectronic circuits.

    摘要: A wavy line interconnect structure that accommodates small metal lines and large vias is disclosed. A lithography mask design used to pattern metal line trenches uses optical proximity correction (OPC) techniques to approximate wavy lines using rectangular opaque features. The large vias can be formed using a self-aligned dual damascene process without the need for a separate via lithography mask. Instead, a sacrificial layer allows etching of an underlying thick dielectric block, while protecting narrow features of the trenches that correspond to the metal line interconnects. The resulting vias have an aspect ratio that is relatively easy to fill, while the larger via footprint provides low via resistance. By lifting the shrink constraint for vias, thereby allowing the via footprint to exceed the minimum size of the metal line width, a path is cleared for further process generations to continue shrinking metal lines to dimensions below 10 nm.
