Abstract: A method includes forming a protruding fin, and forming a first dielectric layer including a first dielectric layer and a second dielectric layer over the first dielectric layer. The first dielectric layer includes a first top portion on a top surface of the protruding fin, and a sidewall portion on a sidewall of the protruding fin. The second dielectric layer is over the first top portion and the top surface of the protruding fin, and is formed using an anisotropic deposition process. The method further includes forming a dummy gate electrode on the second dielectric layer, forming a gate spacer on a sidewall of the dummy gate electrode, removing the dummy gate electrode, and forming a replacement gate electrode in a space left by the dummy gate electrode.

Abstract: A device includes a gate stack having a top portion, and a stacked structure underlying the top portion of the gate stack. The stacked structure includes a plurality of semiconductor nanostructures, with upper nanostructures in the plurality of semiconductor nanostructures overlapping respective lower nanostructures. The stacked structure further includes a plurality of gate structures, each including a lower portion of the gate stack. Each of the plurality of gate structures is between two of the plurality of semiconductor nanostructures. A dielectric layer extends on a top surface and a sidewall of the stacked structure. The dielectric layer includes a lower sub layer comprising a first dielectric material, and an upper sub layer over the lower sub layer and formed of a second dielectric material different from the first dielectric material. A gate spacer is on the dielectric layer. A source/drain region is aside of the gate stack.

Abstract: A method includes forming a protruding structure, and forming a non-conformal film on the protruding structure using an Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) process. The non-conformal film includes a top portion directly over the protruding structure, and a sidewall portion on a sidewall of the protruding structure. The top portion has a first thickness, and the sidewall portion has a second thickness smaller than the first thickness.

Abstract: A semiconductor device and a method of forming the same are provided. The method includes forming a trench in a substrate. A liner layer is formed along sidewalls and a bottom of the trench. A silicon-rich layer is formed over the liner layer. Forming the silicon-rich layer includes flowing a first silicon precursor into a process chamber for a first time interval, and flowing a second silicon precursor and a first oxygen precursor into the process chamber for a second time interval. The second time interval is different from the first time interval. The method further includes forming a dielectric layer over the silicon-rich layer.
