    Abstract: Methods of forming a fin structure for a field effect transistor are described. The methods may include the operations of patterning a mandrel on a surface of a substrate, and depositing an epitaxial layer of high-mobility channel material over exposed surfaces of the patterned mandrel. The epitaxial layer leaves a gap between adjacent columns of the patterned mandrel, and a dielectric material may be deposited in the gap between the adjacent columns of the patterned mandrel. The methods may also include planarizing the epitaxial layer to form a planarized epitaxial layer and exposing the columns of the patterned mandrel, and etching at least a portion of the exposed columns of the patterned mandrel and the dielectric material to expose at least a portion of the planarized epitaxial layer that forms the fin structure.

    Abstract: A method of fabricating multiple gate lengths simultaneously on a single chip surface. Hard masking materials which are used as spacers in a field effects transistor generation process are converted into a spacer mask to increase the line density on the chip surface. These hard masking spacers are further patterned by either trimming or by enlarging a portion of a spacer at various locations on a chip surface, to enable formation of multiple gate lengths on a single chip, using a series of process steps which make use of combinations of hydrophobic and hydrophilic materials.

    Abstract: The control of gate widths is improved for system-on-a-chip (SoC) devices which require multiple gate dielectric “gate” thicknesses, e.g., for analog and digital processing on the same chip. A hard mask is formed to protect a thick gate while the thin gate region is etched to remove oxide (sometimes referred to as a preclean step). The patterned substrate is then processed to selectively deposit a second thickness of gate material. The thin gate may be silicon oxide and the physical thickness of the thin gate may be less than that of the thick gate. In a preferred embodiment, the substrate is not exposed to air or atmosphere after the hardmask is removed.
