    摘要: A semiconductor structure includes a substrate; bottom dielectric isolation (BDI) on the substrate; a first source/drain region on the BDI; and a nanosheet stack on the BDI. The nanosheet stack includes gate stack layers; semiconductor nanosheets interleaved with the gate stack layers and contacting the first source/drain region; and first inner spacers adjacent to the first source/drain region and separating the first source/drain region from the gate stack layers. The structure also includes a second source/drain region contacting the semiconductor nanosheet and extending from the top of the nanosheet stack down through the BDI to the substrate. Accordingly, the nanosheet stack also includes second inner spacers in the nanosheet stack adjacent to the second source/drain region and separating the second source/drain region from the gate stack layers.

    摘要: A method of making a semiconductor component includes forming an interconnect in a dielectric layer such that an uppermost surface of the interconnect is substantially coplanar with an uppermost surface of the dielectric layer. The method further includes recessing the dielectric layer such that the uppermost surface of the dielectric layer is lower than the uppermost surface of the interconnect. The method further includes forming spacers in direct contact with the uppermost surface of the recessed dielectric layer such that the spacers are in direct contact with the interconnect. The method further includes recessing the interconnect such that the uppermost surface of the interconnect remains above the uppermost surface of the recessed dielectric layer and is lower than an uppermost surface of the spacers.

    摘要: Techniques for forming self-aligned subtractive top vias using a via hardmask supported by scaffolding are provided. In one aspect, a method of forming top vias includes: forming metal lines on a substrate using line hardmasks; patterning vias in the line hardmasks; filling the vias and trenches in between the metal lines with a via hardmask material to form via hardmasks and a scaffolding adjacent to and supporting the via hardmasks; removing the line hardmasks; and recessing the metal lines using the via hardmasks to form the top vias that are self-aligned with the metal lines. The scaffolding can also be placed prior to patterning of the vias in the line hardmasks. A structure formed in accordance with the present techniques containing top vias is also provided.
