    摘要: A semiconductor structure is provided that includes a gate conductor structure having a middle portion that has a vertical thickness that is greater than a vertical thickness of each end portion, and a self-aligned dielectric gate cap located on the gate conductor structure and having a middle portion that has a vertical thickness that is less than a vertical thickness of each end portion. The aforementioned gate conductor structure, which is taller in the middle and shorter at the edges, has reduced gate resistance, while the aforementioned self-aligned dielectric gate cap, which is taller at the edges and shorter in the middle, increases process margin for contact formation.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to techniques for integrating an extra gate (EG) vertical field effect transistor (VFET) with a single gate (SG) VFET. In a non-limiting embodiment of the invention, a bottom source or drain (S/D) layer is formed over a substrate. A first semiconductor fin is formed over the bottom S/D layer in a first region of the substrate and a second semiconductor fin is formed over the bottom S/D layer in a second region of the substrate. A block mask is formed over the first semiconductor fin and the second semiconductor fin is recessed. The second semiconductor fin is exposed to an isotropic or anisotropic fin trim.

    摘要: A method of performing co-integrated fabrication of a non-volatile memory (NVM) and a gate-all-around (GAA) nanosheet field effect transistor (FET) includes recessing fins in a channel region of the NVM and the FET to form source and drain regions adjacent to recessed fins, and removing alternating portions of the recessed fins of the NVM and the FET to form gaps in the recessed fins. A stack of layers that make up an NVM structure are conformally deposited within the gaps of the recessed fins leaving second gaps, smaller than the gaps, and above the recessed fins of the NVM while protecting the FET with the organic planarization layer (OPL) and a block mask. The OPL and block mask are removed from the FET, and another OPL and another block mask protect the NVM while a gate of the FET is formed above the recessed fins and within the gaps.

    摘要: A semiconductor device includes a substrate with a first semiconductor fin and a second semiconductor fin formed thereon. A pair of opposing dielectric trench spacers are between the first and second semiconductor fins. The opposing dielectric trench spacers define an isolation region therebetween. The semiconductor device further includes a shallow trench isolation (STI) element formed in the isolation region. The STI element includes a lower portion on the substrate and an upper portion located opposite the lower portion. The upper portion extends above an upper end of the dielectric trench spacers.
