    Abstract: Solid-state assemblies including dielectric lining layers having localized charges are provided. Processes to form the solid-state assemblies also are provided. The solid-state assemblies can included in CMOS transistors, where first dielectric lining layers having localized charges of positive polarity can be adjacent to the PMOS member and a second dielectric lining layers having localized charges of positive polarity can be adjacent to an NMOS member. The first dielectric lining layers can be adjacent to a first gate electrode of the CMOS transistor, and the second dielectric lining can be adjacent to a second gate electrode of the CMOS transistor. The first dielectric lining layers and the second dielectric lining layers can improve, at least in part, the performance of the CMOS transistor by attracting mobile carriers into respective transport channels of the PMOS member and the NMOS member.

    Abstract: Tunneling Field Effect Transistors (TFETs) are promising devices in that they promise significant performance increase and energy consumption decrease due to a steeper subthreshold slope (for example, smaller sub-threshold swing). In various embodiments, vertical fin-based TFETs can be fabricated in trenches, for example, silicon trenches. In another embodiment, vertical TFETs can be used on different material systems acting as a substrate and/or trenches (for example, Si, Ge, III-V semiconductors, GaN, and the like). In one embodiment, the tunneling direction in the channel of the vertical TFET can be perpendicular to the Si substrates. In one embodiment, this can be different than the tunneling direction in the channel of later TFETs. In an embodiment, the disclosed vertical TFET can have a channel that includes the functionality of a drain. In an embodiment, the channel can be unintentionally doped (UID).

    Abstract: A subfin leakage problem with respect to the silicon-germanium (SiGe)/shallow trench isolation (STI) interface can be mitigated with a halo implant. A halo implant is used to form a highly resistive layer. For example, a silicon substrate layer 204 is coupled to a SiGe layer, which is coupled to a germanium (Ge) layer. A gate is disposed on the Ge layer. An implant is implanted in the Ge layer that causes the layer to become more resistive. However, an area does not receive the implant due to being protected (or covered) by the gate. The area remains less resistive than the remainder of the Ge layer. In some embodiments, the resistive area of a Ge layer can be etched and/or an undercuttage (etch undercut or EUC) can be performed to expose the unimplanted Ge area of the Ge layer.
