    Abstract: At least one of a capacitor or a resistor structure can be formed concurrently with formation of a field effect transistor by patterning a gate dielectric layer into gate dielectric and into a first node dielectric or a first resistor isolation dielectric, and by patterning a semiconductor layer into a gate electrode and into a second electrode of a capacitor or a resistor strip. Contacts are then formed to the capacitor or resistor structure. Sidewall spacers may be formed on the gate electrode prior to patterning the capacitor or resistor contacts to reduce damage to the underlying capacitor or resistor layers.

    Abstract: A field effect transistor for a high voltage operation can include vertical current paths, which may include vertical surface regions of a pedestal semiconductor portion that protrudes above a base semiconductor portion. The pedestal semiconductor portion can be formed by etching a semiconductor material layer employing a gate structure as an etch mask. A dielectric gate spacer can be formed on sidewalls of the pedestal semiconductor portion. A source region and a drain region may be formed underneath top surfaces of the base semiconductor portion. Alternatively, epitaxial semiconductor material portions can be grown on the top surfaces of the base semiconductor portions, and a source region and a drain region can be formed therein. Alternatively, a source region and a drain region can be formed within via cavities in a planarization dielectric layer.

    Abstract: A semiconductor structure includes a semiconductor substrate containing a shallow trench isolation structure that laterally surrounds a transistor active region, at least one line trench vertically extending into the semiconductor substrate, and a source region and a drain region located in the transistor active region. A contoured channel region continuously extends from the source region to the drain region underneath the at least one line trench. A gate dielectric contacts all surfaces of the at least one line trench and extends over an entirety of the contoured channel region. A gate electrode containing at least one fin portion overlies the gate dielectric.

    Abstract: A transistor includes a semiconductor substrate including a first active region, a second active region, and a semiconductor channel, a gate stack structure that overlies the semiconductor channel, a proximal dielectric material layer overlying the semiconductor substrate, laterally surrounding the gate stack structure, a distal dielectric material layer overlying the proximal dielectric material layer, and a first contact via structure contacting the first active region having a greater lateral extent at a level of the proximal dielectric material layer than at a level of the distal dielectric material layer.
