摘要： Fabricating a steep-switch transistor includes receiving a semiconductor structure including a substrate, a fin disposed on the substrate, a source/drain disposed on the substrate adjacent to the fin, a gate disposed upon the fin, a cap disposed on the gate, a trench contact formed on and in contact with the source/drain, and a source/drain contact formed on an in contact with the trench contact. A recess is formed in a portion of the source/drain contact using a recess patterning process. A bi-stable resistive system (BRS) material is deposited in the recess in contact with the portion of the source/drain contact. A metallization layer is formed in contact upon the BRS material, a portion of the source/drain contact, the BRS material, and a portion of the metallization layer contact forming a reversible switch.

摘要： A method for channel formation in a fin transistor includes removing a dummy gate and dielectric from a dummy gate structure to expose a region of an underlying fin and depositing an amorphous layer including Ge over the region of the underlying fin. The amorphous layer is oxidized to condense out Ge and diffuse the Ge into the region of the underlying fin to form a channel region with Ge in the fin.

摘要： On a first semiconductor material substrate, an overlying sacrificial layer formed of a second semiconductor material is deposited. In a first region, a first semiconductor material region is formed over the sacrificial layer. In a second region, a second semiconductor material region is formed over the sacrificial layer. The first semiconductor material region is patterned to define a first FinFET fin. The second semiconductor material region is patterned to define a second FinFET fin. The fins are each covered with a cap and sidewall spacer. The sacrificial layer formed of the second semiconductor material is then selectively removed to form an opening below each of the first and second FinFET fins (with those fins being supported by the sidewall spacers). The openings below each of the fins are then filled with a dielectric material that serves to isolate the semiconductive materials of the fins from the substrate.

摘要： A shallow trench is formed to extend into a handle substrate of a semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) layer. A dielectric liner stack of a dielectric metal oxide layer and a silicon nitride layer is formed in the shallow trench, followed by deposition of a shallow trench isolation fill portion. The dielectric liner stack is removed from above a top surface of a top semiconductor portion, followed by removal of a silicon nitride pad layer and an upper vertical portion of the dielectric metal oxide layer. A divot laterally surrounding a stack of a top semiconductor portion and a buried insulator portion is filled with a silicon nitride portion. Gate structures and source/drain structures are subsequently formed. The silicon nitride portion or the dielectric metal oxide layer functions as a stopping layer during formation of source/drain contact via holes, thereby preventing electrical shorts between source/drain contact via structures and the handle substrate.

摘要： Methods and structures for increasing strain in fully insulated finFETs are described. The finFET structures may be formed on an insulating layer and include source, channel, and drain regions that are insulated all around. During fabrication, the source and drain regions may be formed as suspended structures. A strain-inducing material may be formed around the source and drain regions on four contiguous sides so as to impart strain to the channel region of the finFET.
