摘要: A method of forming a semiconductor structure includes forming a nanosheet stack including alternating layers of a sacrificial material and a channel material over a substrate, the layers of channel material providing nanosheet channels for one or more nanosheet field-effect transistors. The method also includes forming a hard mask stack over the nanosheet stack, and forming a patterning layer over the hard mask stack. The method further includes patterning a lithographic mask over the patterning layer, the lithographic mask defining (i) one or more first regions for direct printing of one or more fins of a first width in the nanosheet stack and the substrate and (ii) one or more second regions for setting the spacing between two or more fins of a second width in the nanosheet stack and the substrate using self-aligned double patterning. The second width is less than the first width.

摘要: A semiconductor structure is provided in which a via to buried power rail (VBPR) contact structure is present that has a via portion contacting a buried power rail and a non-via portion contacting a source/drain region of a first functional gate structure present in a first device region. A dielectric spacer structure including a base dielectric spacer and a replacement dielectric spacer is located between the VPBR contact structure and the first functional gate structure. The replacement dielectric spacer is composed of a gate cut trench dielectric material that is also present in a gate cut trench that is located between the first functional gate structure present in the first device region, and a second functional gate structure that is present in a second device region. The replacement dielectric spacer replaces a damaged region of a dielectric spacer that is originally present during VBPR formation.

摘要: A method of semiconductor manufacture comprising forming a plurality of first mandrels as the top layer of the multi-layered hard mask and forming a first spacer around each of the plurality of first mandrels. Removing the plurality of first mandrels and cutting the first spacer to form a plurality of second mandrels. Forming a second spacer around each of the plurality of second mandrels and forming a first self-aligned pattern that includes a plurality of third mandrels. Removing the plurality of second mandrels and the second spacer and etching the multi-layered hard mask to transfer the first-self aligned pattern to a lower layer of the multi-layered hard mask. Forming a second self-aligned pattern, wherein the second self-aligned pattern is intermixed with the first self-aligned pattern and etching the first self-aligned pattern and the second self-aligned pattern into the conductive metal layer.

摘要: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a method of fabricating an integrated circuit (IC). The method includes performing fabrication operations to form transistors on a substrate. The fabrication operations include forming a sacrificial metal gate and forming a shared non-sacrificial metal gate. The sacrificial metal gate is recessed to form a sacrificial metal gate, and the shared non-sacrificial metal gate is recessed to form a recessed shared non-sacrificial metal gate. A pattern is formed over the sacrificial metal gate and the recessed shared non-sacrificial metal gate. The pattern defines a single diffusion break footprint over a top surface of the sacrificial metal gate, along with a gate-cut footprint over a central region of a top surface of the recessed shared non-sacrificial metal gate.

摘要: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a method for increasing the available width of a shallow trench isolation region. In a non-limiting embodiment of the invention, a semiconductor fin is formed over a substrate. A source or drain is formed on a surface of the substrate between the semiconductor fin and the substrate. A liner is formed over a surface of the semiconductor fin and a surface of the substrate is recessed to expose a sidewall of the source or drain. A mask is formed over the semiconductor fin and the liner. The mask is patterned to expose a top surface and a sidewall of the liner. A sidewall of the source or drain is recessed and a shallow trench isolation region is formed on the recessed top surface of the substrate. The shallow trench isolation region is adjacent to the recessed sidewall of the source or drain.

摘要: A high aspect ratio contact structure formed within a dielectric material includes a top portion and a bottom portion. The top portion of the contact structure includes a tapering profile towards the bottom portion. A first metal stack surrounded by an inner spacer is located within the top portion of the contact structure and a second metal stack is located within the bottom portion of the contact structure. A width of the bottom portion of the contact structure is greater than a minimum width of the top portion of the contact structure.
