A shorter gate length FET for very large scale integrated circuit chips is achieved by providing a wafer with multiple threshold voltages. Multiple threshold voltages are developed by combining multiple work function gate materials. The gate materials are geometrically aligned in a predetermined pattern so that each gate material is adjacent to other gate materials. A patterned linear array embodiment is developed for a multiple threshold voltage design. The method of forming a multiple threshold voltage FET requires disposing different gate materials in aligned trenches within a semiconductor wafer, wherein each gate material represents a separate work function. The gate materials are arranged to be in close proximity to one another to accommodate small gate length designs.

A double gated silicon-on-insulator (SOI) MOSFET is fabricated by forming epitaxially grown channels, followed by a damascene gate. The double gated MOSFET features narrow channels, which increases current drive per layout width and provides low out conductance.
摘要:
A field effect transistor is formed with a sub-lithographic conduction channel and a dual gate which is formed by a simple process by starting with a silicon-on-insulator wafer, allowing most etching processes to use the buried oxide as an etch stop. Low resistivity of the gate, source and drain is achieved by silicide sidewalls or liners while low gate to junction capacitance is achieved by recessing the silicide and polysilicon dual gate structure from the source and drain region edges.
摘要:
Off-current is not compromised in a field effect transistor having a gate length less than 100 nanometers in length by maintaining the conduction channel width one-half to one-quarter of the gate length and locating the gate on at least two sides of the conduction channel and to thus create a full depletion device. Such a narrow conduction channel is achieved by forming a trough at minimum lithographic dimensions, forming sidewalls within the trough and etching the gate structure self-aligned with the sidewalls. The conduction channel is then epitaxially grown from the source structure in the trough such that the source, conduction channel and drain region are a unitary monocrystalline structure.
