Abstract:
A method of forming a semiconductor device includes: forming a superlattice structure atop the top surface of a substrate, wherein the superlattice structure comprises a plurality of first layers and a corresponding plurality of second layers alternatingly arranged in a plurality of stacked pairs; forming a lateral etch stop layer by epitaxial deposition of a material of the first layer or the second layer of the superlattice structure atop a sidewall of the superlattice structure, or by selectively oxidizing edges of the first layers and second layers of the superlattice structure; subsequently forming a source region adjacent a first end of the superlattice structure and a drain region adjacent a second opposing end of the superlattice structure; and selectively etching the superlattice structure to remove each of the first layers or each of the second layers to form a plurality of voids in the superlattice structure.
Abstract:
Methods for forming a multi-threshold voltage device on a substrate are provided herein. In some embodiments, the method of forming a multi-threshold voltage device may include (a) providing a substrate having a first layer disposed thereon, wherein the substrate comprises a first feature and a second feature disposed within the first layer; (b) depositing a blocking layer atop the substrate; (c) selectively removing a portion of the blocking layer from atop the substrate to expose the first feature; (d) selectively depositing a first work function layer atop the first feature; (e) removing a remainder of the blocking layer to expose the second feature; and (f) depositing a second work function layer atop the atop the first work function layer and the second feature.
