摘要: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a method for forming a complementary field effect transistor (CFET) structure having a wrap-around contact. In a non-limiting embodiment of the invention, a complementary nanosheet stack is formed over a substrate. The complementary nanosheet stack includes a first nanosheet and a second nanosheet separated by a dielectric spacer. A first sacrificial layer is formed over a source or drain (S/D) region of the first nanosheet and a second sacrificial layer is formed over a S/D region of the second nanosheet. A conductive gate is formed over channel regions of the first nanosheet and the second nanosheet. After the conductive gate is formed, the first sacrificial layer is replaced with a first wrap-around contact and the second sacrificial layer is replaced with a second wrap-around contact.

摘要: A semiconductor device includes a first source/drain region on an upper surface of a semiconductor substrate that extends along a first direction to define a length and a second direction opposite the first direction to define a width. A channel region extends vertically in a direction perpendicular to the first and second directions from a first end contacting the first source/drain region to an opposing second end contacting a second source/drain region. A gate surrounds a channel portion of the channel region, and a first doped source/drain extension region is located between the first source/drain region and the channel portion. The first doped source/drain extension region has a thickness extending along the vertical direction. A second doped source/drain extension region is located between the second source/drain region and the channel portion. The second doped source/drain extension region has a thickness extending along the vertical direction that matches the first thickness.

摘要: A vertical field effect transistor includes a first epitaxial region in contact with a top surface of a channel fin extending vertically from a bottom source/drain located above a substrate, a second epitaxial region above the first epitaxial region having a horizontal thickness that is larger than a horizontal thickness of the first epitaxial region. The first epitaxial region and the second epitaxial region form a top source/drain region of the semiconductor structure. The first epitaxial region has a first doping concentration and the second epitaxial region has a second doping concentration that is lower than the first doping concentration. A top spacer, adjacent to the first epitaxial region and the second epitaxial region, is in contact with a top surface of a high-k metal gate stack located around the channel fin and in contact with a top surface of a first dielectric layer disposed between adjacent channel fins.

摘要: A semiconductor device includes a nanosheet device and a gate-all-around FIN-shaped (GAA-FIN) device. The nanosheet device includes n- and p-type field effect transistor (nFET and pFET) sections, each of which includes nanosheet stacks and work function metal (WFM). Each nanosheet stack includes lowermost and uppermost spacers, intermediate semiconductor layers and dielectric material surrounding the lowermost and uppermost spacers and the intermediate semiconductor layers. The WFM surrounds the nanosheet stacks and entirely fills suspension regions thereof. The GAA-FIN device includes nFET and pFET sections, each of which includes fin elements and WFM. Each fin element includes a lower spacer, a secondary intermediate layer of semiconductor material and dielectric material surrounding the lower spacer and the secondary intermediate layer of semiconductor material. The WFM surrounds each of the fin elements. A thickness of the WFM entirely filling the suspension regions exceeds a thickness of the WFM of the fin elements.

摘要: A method is presented for constructing mechanically stable fins. The method includes forming a fin stack including a plurality of sacrificial layers, recessing the fin stack to form channel fins, depositing a first type epitaxy between the channel fins, depositing a dielectric region over the first type epitaxy, depositing a second type epitaxy over the dielectric region, and removing the plurality of sacrificial layers resulting in formation of a plurality of gaps. The method further includes filling a first set of the plurality of gaps with a p-type work function metal (WFM) to form a p-type field effect transistor (pFET) structure and filling a second set of the plurality of gaps with an n-type WFM to form an n-type field effect transistor (nFET) structure, where the nFET structure is stacked over the pFET structure.

摘要: A method for fabricating a semiconductor device includes depositing a sacrificial liner in self-aligned contact openings in first and second regions. The openings are filled with a sacrificial material. The second region is blocked with a first mask to remove the sacrificial material from the first region. The first mask is removed from the second region, and the sacrificial liner is removed from the first region. A first liner is formed in the openings of the first region, and first contacts are formed in the first region on the first liner. The first region is blocked with a second mask to remove the sacrificial material from the second region. The second mask is removed from the first region, and the sacrificial liner is removed from the second region. A second liner is formed in the openings of the second region, and second contacts are formed in the second region.
