    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide improved methods and structures for fabrication of capacitor-less DRAM devices, sometimes referred to as ZRAM devices. A channel is formed in a fin-type field effect transistor (finFET) that is comprised of a finned channel portion and a convex channel portion. The finned channel portion may be comprised of a first semiconductor material and the convex channel portion may be comprised of a second, different semiconductor material. In embodiments, a metal gate is disposed around the elongated surface of the channel region, but is not disposed on the short surface of the channel region. A first spacer is disposed adjacent to the gate and in direct physical contact with the short surface of the channel region, and a second spacer is disposed adjacent to the first spacer.

    Abstract: After formation of trench capacitors and source and drain regions and gate structures for access transistors, a dielectric spacer is formed on a first sidewall of each source region, while a second sidewall of each source region and sidewalls of drain regions are physically exposed. Each dielectric spacer can be employed as an etch mask during removal of trench top dielectric portions to form strap cavities for forming strap structures. Optionally, selective deposition of a semiconductor material can be performed to form raised source and drain regions. In this case, the raised source regions grow only from the first sidewalls and do not grow from the second sidewalls. The raised source regions can be employed as a part of an etch mask during formation of the strap cavities. The strap structures are formed as self-aligned structures that are electrically isolated from adjacent access transistors by the dielectric spacers.

    Abstract: Semiconductor-oxide-containing gate dielectrics can be formed on surfaces of semiconductor fins prior to formation of a disposable gate structure. A high dielectric constant (high-k) dielectric spacer can be formed to protect each semiconductor-oxide-containing gate dielectric. Formation of the high-k dielectric spacers may be performed after formation of gate cavities by removal of disposable gate structures, or prior to formation of disposable gate structures. The high-k dielectric spacers can be used as protective layers during an anisotropic etch that vertically extends the gate cavity, and can be removed after vertical extension of the gate cavities. A subset of the semiconductor-oxide-containing gate dielectrics can be removed for formation of high-k gate dielectrics for first type devices, while another subset of the semiconductor-oxide-containing gate dielectrics can be employed as gate dielectrics for second type devices. The vertical extension of the gate cavities increases channel widths in the fin field effect transistors.

    Abstract: Disposable gate structures are formed over semiconductor material portions, and source and drain regions can be formed in the semiconductor material portions. After formation of a planarization dielectric layer, one type of disposable gate structure can be removed selective to at least another type of disposable gate structure employing a patterned hard dielectric mask layer. After recessing a surface portion of a body portion, a heteroepitaxial channel portion is formed on the remaining physically exposed portion of the body portion by selective epitaxy of a semiconductor material different from the semiconductor material of the remaining body portion. A plurality of types of heteroepitaxial channel portions can be formed in different types of semiconductor devices. Replacement gate structures can be formed in the gate cavities to provide field effect transistors having different threshold voltages.
