    Abstract: A large area electrical contact for use in integrated circuits features a non-planar, sloped bottom profile. The sloped bottom profile provides a larger electrical contact area, thus reducing the contact resistance, while maintaining a small contact footprint. The sloped bottom profile can be formed by recessing an underlying layer, wherein the bottom profile can be crafted to have a V-shape, U-shape, crescent shape, or other profile shape that includes at least a substantially sloped portion in the vertical direction. In one embodiment, the underlying layer is an epitaxial fin of a FinFET. A method of fabricating the low-resistance electrical contact employs a thin etch stop liner for use as a hard mask. The etch stop liner, e.g., HfO2, prevents erosion of an adjacent gate structure during the formation of the contact.

    Abstract: A hetero-channel FinFET device provides enhanced switching performance over a FinFET device having a silicon channel, and is easier to integrate into a fabrication process than is a FinFET device having a germanium channel. A FinFET device featuring the heterogeneous Si/SiGe channel includes a fin having a central region made of silicon and sidewall regions made of SiGe. A hetero-channel pFET device in particular has higher carrier mobility and less gate-induced drain leakage current than either a silicon device or a SiGe device. The hetero-channel FinFET permits the SiGe portion of the channel to have a Ge concentration in the range of about 25-40% and permits the fin height to exceed 40 nm while remaining stable.
