摘要: A semiconductor device includes first and second nanosheet stacks above an upper surface of a semiconductor substrate, a first source/drain on an end of the first nanosheet stack, and a second source/drain on an end of the second nanosheet stack. A first gate stack wraps around individual channels of the first nanosheet stack and a second gate stack wraps around individual channels the second nanosheet stack. An interlayer dielectric covers the first and second nanosheet stacks, the first and second source/drains, and the first and second gate stacks. The semiconductor device further includes a first source/drain contact that contacts the first source/drain and a second source/drain contact that contacts the second source/drain. The first and second source/drain contacts extend continuously from the first and second source/drains, respectively, to an upper surface of the interlayer dielectric.

摘要: A semiconductor structure may include a heater surrounded by a dielectric layer, a projection liner on top of the heater, a phase change material layer above the projection liner, and a top electrode contact surrounding a top portion of the phase change material layer, The projection liner may cover a top surface of the heater. The projection liner may separate the phase change material layer from the second dielectric layer and the heater. The projection liner may provide a parallel conduction path in the crystalline phase and the amorphous phase of the phase change material layer. The top electrode contact may be separated from the phase change material layer by a metal liner. The semiconductor structure may include a bottom electrode below and in electrical contact with the heater and a top electrode above and in electrical contact with the phase change material layer.

摘要: A semiconductor structure includes a substrate and a first field effect transistor (FET) formed on the substrate; the first FET includes a first FET first source-drain region, a first FET second source-drain region, a first FET gate between the first and second source-drain regions, and a first FET channel region adjacent the first FET gate and between the first FET first and second source-drain regions. Also included is a buried power rail, buried in the substrate, having a top at a level lower than the first FET channel region, and having buried power rail sidewalls. A first FET shared contact is electrically interconnected with the buried power rail and the first FET second source-drain region, and a first FET electrically isolating region is adjacent the buried power rail sidewalls and separates the buried power rail from the substrate.
