Abstract: Thin film transistors fabricated using a spacer as a fin are described. In an example, a method of forming a fin transistor structure includes patterning a plurality of backbone pillars on a semiconductor substrate. The method may then include conformally depositing a spacer layer over the plurality of backbone pillars and the semiconductor substrate. A spacer etch of the spacer layer is then performed to leave a sidewall of the spacer layer on a backbone pillar to form a fin of the fin transistor structure. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for realizing a two-dimensional target lithography feature/pattern by decomposing (splitting) it into multiple unidirectional target features that, when aggregated, substantially (e.g., fully) represent the original target feature without leaving an unrepresented remainder (e.g., a whole-number quantity of unidirectional target features). The unidirectional target features may be arbitrarily grouped such that, within a grouping, all unidirectional target features share a common target width value. Where multiple such groupings are provided, individual groupings may or may not have the same common target width value. In some cases, a series of reticles is provided, each reticle having a mask pattern correlating to a grouping of unidirectional target features. Exposure of a photoresist material via the aggregated series of reticles substantially (e.g., fully) produces the original target feature/pattern. The pattern decomposition techniques may be integrated into any number of patterning processes, such as litho-freeze-litho-etch and litho-etch-litho-etch patterning processes.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein include semiconductor devices and methods of forming such semiconductor devices. In an embodiment, a method of fabricating a semiconductor device comprises, forming a first grating of parallel first lines, forming a second grating of parallel second lines, wherein the second lines are substantially orthogonal to the first lines, and wherein the first lines and second lines define a plurality of first openings, disposing a conformal mask layer over the first lines and the second lines, wherein the conformal mask layer partially fills the first openings and defines a second opening within each of the first openings, disposing a hardmask over the conformal mask layer, wherein the hardmask fills the second openings, patterning third openings into the hardmask, wherein the third openings clear the hardmask from at least one of the second openings, and removing the mask layer proximate to cleared second openings to clear first openings.

Abstract: A device structure includes a first interconnect line along a longitudinal direction and a second interconnect line parallel to the first interconnect line, where the first interconnect structure is within a first metallization level and the second interconnect line is within a second metallization level. A first transistor and a laterally separated second transistor are on a same plane above the second interconnect line, where a gate of the first transistor is coupled to the first interconnect line and a gate of the second transistor is coupled to the second interconnect line. A first capacitor is coupled to a first terminal of the first transistor and a second capacitor is coupled to a first terminal of the second transistor. A third interconnect line couples a second terminal of the first transistor with a second terminal of the second transistor.

Abstract: Self-aligned isotropic etch processes for via and plug patterning for back end of line (BEOL) interconnects, and the resulting structures, are described. In an example, a method of fabricating an interconnect structure for an integrated circuit includes removing a sacrificial or permanent placeholder material of a subset of a plurality of holes or trenches through openings in a patterning layer. The method also includes removing the patterning layer and filling the subset of the plurality of holes or trenches with a permanent material.
