    Abstract: Methods are provided for dimension-controlled via formation over a circuit structure, including over multiple adjacent conductive structures. The method(s) includes, for instance, providing a patterned multi-layer stack structure above the circuit structure, the stack structure including at least one layer, and a pattern transfer layer above the at least one layer, the pattern transfer layer being patterned with at least one via opening; providing a sidewall spacer layer within the at least one via opening to form at least one dimension-controlled via opening; and etching through the at least one layer of the stack structure using the at least one dimension-controlled via opening to facilitate providing the via(s) over the circuit structure. In one implementation, the stack structure includes a trench-opening within a patterned hard mask layer disposed between a dielectric layer and a planarization layer, and the via(s) is partially self-aligned to the trench.

    Abstract: Methods and transistors for circuit structures are provided. The methods include, for instance: defining a channel region in a substrate, the channel region having at least one channel region sidewall adjoining an isolation material; recessing the isolation material to expose an upper portion of the at least one channel region sidewall; and providing a gate structure over a gate interface area with the channel region. The gate interface area includes at least the upper portion of the at least one channel region sidewall and an upper surface of the channel region so that a threshold voltage of the gate structure may be reduced. The methods may also include etching an elongate notch in the upper portion of the at least one channel region sidewall to increase a size of the gate interface area and further reduce the threshold voltage of the gate structure.
