    Abstract: An integrated transistor in the form of a nanoscale electromechanical switch eliminates CMOS current leakage and increases switching speed. The nanoscale electromechanical switch features a semiconducting cantilever that extends from a portion of the substrate into a cavity. The cantilever flexes in response to a voltage applied to the transistor gate thus forming a conducting channel underneath the gate. When the device is off, the cantilever returns to its resting position. Such motion of the cantilever breaks the circuit, restoring a void underneath the gate that blocks current flow, thus solving the problem of leakage. Fabrication of the nano-electromechanical switch is compatible with existing CMOS transistor fabrication processes. By doping the cantilever and using a back bias and a metallic cantilever tip, sensitivity of the switch can be further improved. A footprint of the nano-electromechanical switch can be as small as 0.1×0.1 μm2.

    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a gate structure for a transistor. The gate structure is formed on a substrate and includes a trench. There are sidewalls that line the trench. The sidewalls have a first dimension at a lower end of the trench and a second dimension at an upper end of the trench. The first dimension being larger than the second dimension, such that the sidewalls are tapered from a lower region to an upper region. A high k dielectric liner is formed on the sidewalls and a conductive liner is formed on the high k dielectric liner. A conductive material is in the trench and is adjacent to the conductive liner. The conductive material has a first dimension at the lower end of the trench that is smaller than a second dimension at the upper end of the trench.

    Abstract: A method for forming a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) semiconductor device includes forming laterally adjacent first and second active regions in a semiconductor layer of a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafer. A stress inducing layer is formed above the first active region to impart stress thereto. Trench isolation regions are formed bounding the first active region and adjacent portions of the stress inducing layer. The stress inducing layer is removed leaving the trench isolation regions to maintain stress imparted to the first active region.

    Abstract: A tunneling transistor is implemented in silicon, using a FinFET device architecture. The tunneling FinFET has a non-planar, vertical, structure that extends out from the surface of a doped drain formed in a silicon substrate. The vertical structure includes a lightly doped fin defined by a subtractive etch process, and a heavily-doped source formed on top of the fin by epitaxial growth. The drain and channel have similar polarity, which is opposite that of the source. A gate abuts the channel region, capacitively controlling current flow through the channel from opposite sides. Source, drain, and gate terminals are all electrically accessible via front side contacts formed after completion of the device. Fabrication of the tunneling FinFET is compatible with conventional CMOS manufacturing processes, including replacement metal gate and self-aligned contact processes. Low-power operation allows the tunneling FinFET to provide a high current density compared with conventional planar devices.
