Abstract: Gate-all-around integrated circuit structures having depopulated channel structures, and methods of fabricating gate-all-around integrated circuit structures having depopulated channel structures using a selective bottom-up approach, are described. For example, an integrated circuit structure includes a vertical arrangement of nanowires above a substrate. The vertical arrangement of nanowires has one or more active nanowires above one or more oxide nanowires. A first gate stack is over and around the one or more active nanowires. A second gate stack is over and around the one or more oxide nanowires.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein include semiconductor devices and methods of making such devices. In an embodiment, the semiconductor device comprises a plurality of stacked semiconductor channels comprising first semiconductor channels and second semiconductor channels over the first semiconductor channels. In an embodiment a spacing is between the first semiconductor channels and the second semiconductor channels. The semiconductor device further comprises a gate dielectric surrounding individual ones of the semiconductor channels of the plurality of stacked semiconductor channels. In an embodiment, a first workfunction metal surrounds the first semiconductor channels, and a second workfunction metal surrounds the second semiconductor channels.

Abstract: Integrated circuitry comprising a ribbon or wire (RoW) transistor stack within which the transistors have different threshold voltages (Vt). In some examples, a gate electrode of the transistor stack may include only one workfunction metal. A metal oxide may be deposited around one or more channels of the transistor stack as a solid-state source of a metal oxide species that will diffuse toward the channel region(s). As diffused, the metal oxide may remain (e.g., as a silicate, or hafnate) in close proximity to the channel region, thereby altering the dipole properties of the gate insulator material. Different channels of a transistor stack may be exposed to differing amounts or types of the metal oxide species to provide a range of Vt within the stack. After diffusion, the metal oxide may be stripped as sacrificial, or retained.
