An on-chip memory cell comprises a tri-gate access transistor (145) and a tri-gate capacitor (155). The on-chip memory cell may be an embedded DRAM on a three-dimensional tri-gate transistor and capacitor structures which is fully compatible with existing tri-gate logic transistor fabrication process. Embodiments of the invention use the high fin aspect ratio and inherently superior surface area of the tri-gate transistors to replace the “trench” capacitor in a commodity DRAM with an inversion mode tri-gate capacitor. The tall sidewalls of the tri-gate transistor provide large enough surface area to provide storage capacitance in a small cell area.

An integrated circuit includes a semiconducting substrate (110), electrically conductive layers (120) over the semiconducting substrate, and a capacitor (130) at least partially embedded within the semiconducting substrate such that the capacitor is entirely underneath the electrically conductive layers. A storage node voltage is on an outside layer (132) of the capacitor. In the same or another embodiment, the integrated circuit may act as a 1T-1C embedded memory cell including the semiconducting substrate, an electrically insulating stack (160) over the semiconducting substrate, a transistor (140) including a source/drain region (142) within the semiconducting substrate and a gate region (141) above the semiconducting substrate, a trench (111) extending through the electrically insulating layers and into the semiconducting substrate, a first electrically insulating layer (131) located within the trench, and the capacitor located within the trench interior to the first electrically insulating layer.

The present disclosure describes a method and apparatus for implementing a 3D (three dimensional) strained high mobility quantum well structure, and a 3D strained surface channel structure through a Ge confinement method. One exemplary apparatus may include a first graded SiGe fin on a Si substrate. The first graded SiGe fin may have a maximum Ge concentration greater than about 60%. A Ge quantum well may be on the first graded SiGe fin and a SiGe quantum well upper barrier layer may be on the Ge quantum well. The exemplary apparatus may further include a second graded SiGe fin on the Si substrate. The second graded SiGe fin may have a maximum Ge concentration less than about 40%. A Si active channel layer may be on the second graded SiGe fin. Other high mobility materials such as III-V semiconductors may be used as the active channel materials. Of course, many alternatives, variations and modifications are possible without departing from this embodiment.

Reducing external resistance of a multi-gate device by incorporation of a partial metallic fin is generally described. In one example, an apparatus includes a semiconductor substrate and one or more fins of a multi-gate transistor device coupled with the semiconductor substrate, the one or more fins having a gate region, a source region, and a drain region, the gate region being disposed between the source and drain regions where the gate region of the one or more fins includes a semiconductor material and where the source and drain regions of the one or more fins include a metal portion and a semiconductor portion, the metal portion and the semiconductor portion being coupled together.

In general, in one aspect, a method includes forming an n-diffusion fin and a p-diffusion fin in a semiconductor substrate. A high dielectric constant layer is formed over the substrate. A first work function metal layer is created over the n-diffusion fin and a second work function metal layer, thicker than the first, is created over the n-diffusion fin. A silicon germanium layer is formed over the first and second work function metal layers. A polysilicon layer is formed over the silicon germanium layer and is polished. The polysilicon layer over the first work function metal layer is thicker than the polysilicon layer over the second work function metal layer. A hard mask is patterned and used to etch the polysilicon layer and the silicon germanium layer to create gate stacks. The etch rate of the silicon germanium layer is faster over the first work function metal layer.
