    摘要: A nonplanar MOSFET device such as a FinFET or a sacked nanosheets/nanowires FET has a substrate, one or more nonplanar channels disposed on the substrate, and a gate stack enclosing the nonplanar channels. A first source/drain (S/D) region is disposed on the substrate on a source side of the nonplanar channel and second S/D region is disposed on the substrate on a drain side of the nonplanar channel. The first and second S/D regions made of silicon-germanium (SiGe). In some embodiments, both S/D regions are p-type doped. Contact trenches provide a metallic electrical connection to the first and the second source/drain (S/D) regions. The S/D regions have two parts, a first part with a first concentration of germanium (Ge) and a second part with a second, higher Ge concentration that is a surface layer having convex shape and aligned with one of the contact trenches.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to fabrication method and resulting structures for vertical tunneling field effect transistors (VFETs) having an oxygen vacancy passivating bottom spacer. In a non-limiting embodiment of the invention, a first semiconductor fin is formed in a first region of a substrate and a second semiconductor fin is formed in a second region of the substrate. A bilayer bottom spacer is formed in direct contact with sidewalls of the semiconductor fins. The bilayer bottom spacer includes a first layer and an oxygen-donating second layer positioned on the first layer. A first dielectric film is formed on the sidewalls of the first semiconductor fin. The first dielectric film terminates on the first layer. A second dielectric film is formed on the sidewalls of the second semiconductor fin. The second dielectric film extends onto a surface of the oxygen-donating second layer.
