Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide a multi-tier semiconductor structure. For example, the semiconductor structure can include a lower semiconductor device tier including lower semiconductor devices, an upper semiconductor device tier disposed over the lower semiconductor device tier and including upper semiconductor devices, a separation layer disposed between and separating the lower and upper semiconductor device tiers, a wiring tier disposed below the lower semiconductor device tier, a lower gate contact extending from a lower gate region of the lower semiconductor device tier downward to the wiring tier, an upper gate contact extending from an upper gate region of the upper semiconductor device tier downward through the separation layer to the wiring tier, and an isolator covering a lateral surface of the upper gate contact and electrically isolating the upper and lower gate contacts. The lower gate contact and the upper gate contact can be independent from each other.

Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a first field-effect transistor positioned over a substrate, a second field-effect transistor stacked over the first field-effect transistor, a third field-effect transistor stacked over the second field-effect transistor, and a fourth field-effect transistor stacked over the third field-effect transistor. A bottom gate structure is disposed around a first channel structure of the first field-effect transistor and positioned over the substrate. An intermediate gate structure is disposed over the bottom gate structure and around a second channel structure of the second field-effect transistor and a third channel structure of the third field-effect transistor. A top gate structure is disposed over the intermediate gate structure and around a fourth channel structure of the fourth field-effect transistor. An inter-level contact is formed to bypass the intermediate gate structure from a first side of the intermediate gate structure, and arranged between the bottom gate structure and the top gate structure.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide a method of manufacturing a three-dimensional (3D) semiconductor device. For example, the method can include forming a target structure, the target structure including a lower gate region, an upper gate region, and a separation layer disposed between and separating the lower gate region and the upper gate region. The method can also include forming a sacrificial contact structure extending vertically from the bottom gate region through the separation layer and the upper gate region to a position above the upper gate region, removing at least a portion of the sacrificial contact structure resulting in a lower gate contact opening extending from the position above the upper gate region to the bottom gate region, insulating a side wall surface of the lower gate contact opening, and filling the lower gate contact opening with a conductor to form a lower gate contact.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide a self-aligned microfabrication method, which can include providing a substrate having vertically arranged first and second channel structures, forming first and second sacrificial contacts to cover ends of the first and second channel structures, respectively, covering the first and second sacrificial contacts with a fill material, recessing the fill material such that the second sacrificial contact is at least partially uncovered while the first sacrificial contact remains covered, replacing the second sacrificial contact with a cover spacer, removing a remaining portion of the first fill material, uncovering the end of the first channel structure, forming a first source/drain (S/D) contact to cover the end of the first channel structure, covering the first S/D contact with a second fill material, uncovering the end of the second channel structure, and forming a second S/D contact at the end of the second channel structure.

Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a device plane including an array of cells each including a transistor device. The device plane is formed on a working surface of a substrate and has a front side and a backside opposite the front side. A signal wiring structure is formed on the front side of the device plane. A front-side power distribution network (FSPDN) is positioned on the front side of the device plane. A buried power rail (BPR) is disposed below the device plane on the backside of the device plane. A power tap structure is formed in the device plane. The power tap structure electrically connects the BPR to the FSPDN and electrically connects the BPR to at least one of the transistor devices to provide power to the at least one of the transistor devices.

Abstract: In a semiconductor device, a first stack is positioned over substrate and includes a first pair of transistors and a second pair of transistors stacked over the substrate. A second stack is positioned over the substrate and adjacent to the first stack. The second stack includes a third pair of transistors and a fourth pair of transistors stacked over the substrate. A first capacitor is stacked with the first and second stacks. A second capacitor is positioned adjacent to the first capacitor and stacked with the first and second stacks. A first group of the transistors in the first and second stacks is coupled to each other to form a static random-access memory cell. A second group of the transistors in the first and second stacks is coupled to the first and second capacitors to form a first dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) cell and a second DRAM cell.

Abstract: Techniques herein include methods for fabricating CFET devices. The methods enable high-temperature processes to be performed for FINFET and gate all around (GAA) technologies without degradation of temperature sensitive materials within the device and transistors. In particular, high temperature anneals and depositions can be performed prior to deposition of temperature-sensitive materials, such as work function metals and silicides. The methods enable at least two transistor devices to be fabricated in a stepwise manner while preventing thermal violations of any materials in either transistor.
