Abstract:
Embodiments herein describe techniques for a semiconductor device including a top-gated TFT having high mobility, while keeping the leakage low. Embodiments may include a dielectric layer above a substrate and multiple channel layers above the dielectric layer. For example, a first channel layer including a first material may be above the dielectric layer, and a second channel layer including a second material may be above the first channel layer, wherein the first material may have a lower leakage than the second material, and the second material may have a higher mobility than the first material. Embodiments may further include a source electrode, a drain electrode, and a gate electrode above the second channel layer. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
Abstract:
Deep gate-all-around semiconductor devices having germanium or group III-V active layers are described. For example, a non-planar semiconductor device includes a hetero-structure disposed above a substrate. The hetero-structure includes a hetero-junction between an upper layer and a lower layer of differing composition. An active layer is disposed above the hetero-structure and has a composition different from the upper and lower layers of the hetero-structure. A gate electrode stack is disposed on and completely surrounds a channel region of the active layer, and is disposed in a trench in the upper layer and at least partially in the lower layer of the hetero-structure. Source and drain regions are disposed in the active layer and in the upper layer, but not in the lower layer, on either side of the gate electrode stack.
Abstract:
One embodiment is a method for manufacturing a stacked oxide material, including the steps of forming a first oxide component over a base component, causing crystal growth which proceeds from a surface toward an inside of the first oxide component by first heat treatment to form a first oxide crystal component at least partly in contact with the base component, forming a second oxide component over the first oxide crystal component; and causing crystal growth by second heat treatment using the first oxide crystal component as a seed to form a second oxide crystal component.
Abstract:
An object is to reduce leakage current and parasitic capacitance of a transistor used for an LSI, a CPU, or a memory. A semiconductor integrated circuit included in an LSI, a CPU, or a memory is manufactured using the transistor which is formed using an oxide semiconductor which is an intrinsic or substantially intrinsic semiconductor obtained by removal of impurities which serve as electron donors (donors) from the oxide semiconductor and has larger energy gap than a silicon semiconductor, and is formed over a semiconductor substrate. With the transistor which is formed over the semiconductor substrate and includes the highly purified oxide semiconductor layer with sufficiently reduced hydrogen concentration, a semiconductor device whose power consumption due to leakage current is low can be realized.
