摘要: Semiconductor devices and methods of forming the same include recessing sacrificial layers in a stack of alternating sacrificial layers and channel layers using a first etch to form curved recesses at sidewalls of each sacrificial layer in the stack, with tails of sacrificial material being present at a top and bottom of each curved recess. Dielectric plugs are formed that each partially fill a respective curved recess, leaving exposed at least a portion of each tail of sacrificial material. The tails of sacrificial material are etched back using a second etch to expand the recesses. Inner spacers are formed in the expanded recesses.

摘要: Self-limiting cavities are formed within a crystalline semiconductor substrate and beneath a stack of semiconductor layers used to form a nanosheet transistor device. Inner ends of the cavities merge beneath the stack while the outer ends thereof adjoin isolation regions within the substrate. The cavities are filled with electrically insulating material to provide bottom device isolation. Source/drain regions are grown in vertical trenches extending through the stack of semiconductor layers following formation of dielectric inner spacers. The bottom ends of the trenches adjoin the electrically insulating material within the cavities.
