Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate having a gate trench including an upper trench and a lower trench. The upper trench is wider than the lower trench. A gate is embedded in the gate trench. The gate includes an upper portion and a lower portion. A first gate dielectric layer is between the upper portion and a sidewall of the upper trench. The first gate dielectric layer has a first thickness. A second gate dielectric layer is between the lower portion and a sidewall of the lower trench and between the lower portion and a bottom surface of the lower trench. The second gate dielectric layer has a second thickness that is smaller than the first thickness.

Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a substrate, an electrode layer disposed on the substrate, and a tri-layered gate-control stack sandwiched between the substrate and the electrode layer. The tri-layered gate-control stack includes a ferroelectric layer disposed on the substrate, a mid-gap metal layer sandwiched between the ferroelectric layer and the substrate, and an anti-ferroelectric layer. The anti-ferroelectric layer is sandwiched between the substrate and the mid-gap metal layer. Alternatively, the ferroelectric layer and the mid-gap metal layer are sandwiched between the anti-ferroelectric layer and the substrate.

Abstract: A method of forming a nanowire includes providing a substrate. The substrate is etched to form at least one fin. Subsequently, a first epitaxial layer is formed on an upper portion of the fin. Later, an undercut is formed on a middle portion the fin. A second epitaxial layer is formed to fill into the undercut. Finally, the fin, the first epitaxial layer and the second epitaxial layer are oxidized to condense the first epitaxial layer and the second epitaxial layer into a germanium-containing nanowire.
