    摘要: Embodiments of the invention include a non-planar transistor with a strained channel and methods of forming such a transistor. In an embodiment, the non-planar transistor may include a semiconductor substrate. According to an embodiment, a first source/drain (S/D) region and a second S/D region may be formed over the semiconductor substrate and separated from each other by a channel region. A gate stack may be formed over the channel region.

    摘要: Techniques are disclosed for resistance reduction under transistor spacers. In some instances, the techniques include reducing the exposure of source/drain (S/D) dopants to thermal cycles, thereby reducing the diffusion and loss of S/D dopants to surrounding materials. In some such instances, the techniques include delaying the epitaxial deposition of the doped S/D material until near the end of the transistor formation process flow, thereby avoiding the thermal cycles earlier in the process flow. For example, the techniques may include replacing the S/D regions (e.g., native fin material in the regions to be used for the transistor S/D) with sacrificial S/D material that can then be selectively etched and replaced by highly doped epitaxial S/D material later in the process flow. In some cases, the selective etch may be performed through S/D contact trenches formed in overlying insulator material over the sacrificial S/D.

    摘要: Techniques herein provide precise cuts for fins and nanowires without needing dummy gate pairs to compensate for overlay misalignment. Techniques herein include using an etch mask to remove designated portions of gate structures to define a trench or open space having fin structures, nanowires, etc. The uncovered fin structures are etched away or otherwise removed from the trench segments. The etch mask and material defining the trench provide a combined etch mask for removing uncovered fin portions. Subsequently the trench segments are filled with dielectric material. Without needed dummy gate pairs a given substrate can fit significantly more electrical devices per unit area.
