A method of forming a doped gate structure on a semiconductor device and a semiconductor structure formed in that method are provided. The method comprises the steps of providing a semiconductor device including a gate dielectric layer, and forming a gate stack on said dielectric layer. This latter step, in turn, includes the steps of forming a first gate layer on the dielectric layer, and forming a second disposable layer on top of the first gate layer. A fat spacer is formed round the first gate layer and the second disposable layer. The second disposable layer is removed, and ions are implanted in the first gate layer to supply additional dopant into the gate above the gate dielectric layer, while the fat disposable spacer keeps the implanted ions away from the critical source and drain diffusion regions.

A method of selectively forming a germanium structure within semiconductor manufacturing processes removes the native oxide from a nitride surface in a chemical oxide removal (COR) process and then exposes the heated nitride and oxide surface to a heated germanium containing gas to selectively form germanium only on the nitride surface but not the oxide surface.

Disclosed is an imaging method for patterning component shapes (e.g., fins, gate electrodes, etc.) into a substrate. By conducting a trim step prior to performing either an additive or subtractive sidewall image transfer process, the method avoids the formation of a loop pattern in a hard mask and, thus, avoids a post-SIT process trim step requiring alignment of a trim mask to sub-lithographic features to form a hard mask pattern with the discrete segments. In one embodiment a hard mask is trimmed prior to conducting an additive SIT process so that a loop pattern is not formed. In another embodiment an oxide layer and memory layer that are used to form a mandrel are trimmed prior to the conducting a subtractive SIT process. A mask is then used to protect portions of the mandrel during etch back of the oxide layer so that a loop pattern is not formed.

A memory cell in an integrated circuit is fabricated in part by forming a lower electrode feature, an island, a sacrificial feature, a gate feature, and a phase change feature. The island is formed on the lower electrode feature and has one or more sidewalls. It comprises a lower doped feature, a middle doped feature formed above the lower doped feature, and an upper doped feature formed above the middle doped feature. The sacrificial feature is formed above the island, while the gate feature is formed along each sidewall of the island. The gate feature overlies at least a portion of the middle doped feature of the island and is operative to control an electrical resistance therein. Finally, the phase feature is formed above the island at least in part by replacing at least a portion of the sacrificial feature with a phase change material. The phase change material is operative to switch between lower and higher electrical resistance states in response to an application of an electrical signal.

Methods of making vertical profile FinFET gate electrodes via plating upon a thin gate dielectric are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method for forming a transistor, comprises: providing a semiconductor topography comprising a semiconductor substrate and a semiconductor fin structure extending above the substrate; forming a gate dielectric across exposed surfaces of the semiconductor topography; patterning a mask upon the semiconductor topography such that only a select portion of the gate dielectric is exposed that defines where a gate electrode is to be formed; and plating a metallic material upon the select portion of the gate dielectric to form a gate electrode across a portion of the fin structure.
