    摘要: Semiconductor integrated circuit devices are provided which have standard cells with ultra-short standard cell heights. For example, a device comprises an integrated circuit comprising a standard cell which comprises a first cell boundary and a second cell boundary. The standard cell comprises an n-track cell height defined by a distance between the first cell boundary and the second cell boundary, wherein n is four or less.

    摘要: A semiconductor structure includes a vertical transport logic circuit cell. The vertical transport logic cell includes a first logic gate and at least a second logic gate. The first logic gate includes at least one input terminal and at least one output terminal. The second logic gate includes at least one input terminal and at least one output terminal. One of the input terminal and the output terminal of the first logic gate shares a pitch of the vertical transport logic circuit cell with one of the input terminal and the output terminal of the second logic gate. The first and second logic gates can include the same type or different types of logic functions.

    摘要: Multi-patterning methods are provided for use in fabricating an array of metal lines comprising metal lines with different widths. For example, patterning methods implement spacer-is-dielectric (SID)-based self-aligned double patterning (SADP) methods for fabricating an array of metal lines comprising elongated metal lines with different widths, wherein an “unblock” mask is utilized as part of the process flow to overlap mandrel assigned and non-mandrel assigned features in a given SADP pattern to define regions to unblock a metal fill (remove dielectric material between wires) in a dielectric layer between defined metal lines of an a SADP pattern thus enabling the formation of wide metal lines within any region of a pattern of elongated metal lines formed with a minimum feature width.

    摘要: A semiconductor structure and a method for fabricating the same. The semiconductor structure includes a gate cut mask having one cut window exposing one or more portions of multiple sacrificial gate structures of the at least one plurality of sacrificial gate structures. The multiple sacrificial gate structures having been formed over portions of in structures. The method comprises forming a gate cut mask a plurality of semiconductor fins and a plurality of sacrificial gate structures. The gate cut mask being formed with one cut window exposing one or more portions of multiple sacrificial gate structures of the plurality of sacrificial gate structures. At least the portion of multiple sacrificial gate structures and one or more portions of each semiconductor fin of the plurality of semiconductor fins underlying the one or more portions of one of the multiple sacrificial gate structures are removed.
