Nanowire FET and FinFET hybrid technology
Abstract:
Hybrid nanowire FET and FinFET devices and methods for fabrication thereof are provided. In one aspect, a method for fabricating a CMOS circuit having a nanowire FET and a finFET includes the following steps. A wafer is provided having an active layer over a BOX. A first region of the active layer is thinned. An organic planarizing layer is deposited on the active layer. Nanowires and pads are etched in the first region of the active layer using a first hardmask. The nanowires are suspended over the BOX. Fins are etched in the second region of the active layer using a second hardmask. A first gate stack is formed that surrounds at least a portion of each of the nanowires. A second gate stack is formed covering at least a portion of each of the fins. An epitaxial material is grown on exposed portions of the nanowires, pads and fins.
