    摘要: A method for making a multi-level nanowire structure includes establishing a first plurality of nanowires on a substrate surface, wherein at least some of the nanowires are i) aligned at a predetermined crystallographically defined angle with respect to the substrate surface, ii) aligned substantially perpendicular with respect to the substrate surface, or iii) combinations of i and ii. An insulating layer is established between the nanowires of the first plurality such that one of two opposed ends of at least some of the nanowires positioned i) at the predetermined crystallographically defined angle, ii) substantially perpendicular with respect to the substrate surface, or iii) combinations of i and ii is exposed. Regions are grown from each of the exposed ends, and such regions coalesce to form a substantially continuous layer on the insulating layer. A second plurality of nanowires is established on the substantially continuous layer.

    摘要: A process is provided for fabricating rounded three-dimensional germanium active channels for transistors and sensors. For forming sensors, the process comprises providing a crystalline silicon substrate; depositing an oxide mask on the crystalline silicon substrate; patterning the oxide mask with trenches to expose linear regions of the silicon substrate; epitaxially grow germanium selectively in the trenches, seeded from the silicon wafer; optionally etching the SiO2 mask partially, so that the cross section resembles a trapezoid on a stem; and annealing at an elevated temperature. The annealing process forms the rounded channel. For forming transistors, the process further comprises depositing and patterning a gate oxide and gate electrode onto this structure to form the gate stack of a MOSFET device; and after patterning the gate, implanting dopants into the source and drain located on the parts of the germanium cylinder on either side of the gate line.
