    Abstract: A transistor includes a semiconductor fin with a subfin layer of a subfin material selected from a first group III-V compound a channel layer of a channel material directly on the subfin layer and extending upwardly therefrom, the channel material being a second group III-V compound different from the first group III-V compound. A gate structure is in direct contact with the channel layer of the semiconductor fin, where the gate structure is further in direct contact with one of (i) a top surface of the subfin layer, the top surface being exposed where the channel layer meets the subfin layer because the channel layer is narrower than the subfin layer, or (ii) a liner layer of liner material in direct contact with opposing sidewalls of the subfin layer, the liner material being distinct from the first and second group III-V compounds.

    Abstract: Integrated circuitry comprising stacked first and second transistor structures. One of a source, drain or gate terminal of an upper-level transistor structure is coupled to one of a source, drain or gate terminal of a lower-level transistor structure through an asymmetrical interconnect having a lateral width that increases within a dimension parallel to a semiconductor sidewall of the upper-level transistor by a greater amount than in an orthogonal dimension. A dielectric material between the upper and lower transistor structures may be anisotropically etched asymmetrically by orienting a workpiece to be non-orthogonal to a reactive ion flux. Varying an angle between the reactive ion flux and a plane of the second transistor during an etch of the dielectric material may ensure an etched opening is of sufficient bottom dimension to expose a terminal of the lower-level transistor even if not perfectly aligned with the second transistor structure.

    Abstract: An integrated circuit structure includes a first portion of a bottom semiconductor fin extending horizontally in a length direction and vertically in a height direction, a second portion of the bottom semiconductor fin extending horizontally in the length direction and vertically in the height direction, a top semiconductor fin extending horizontally in the length direction and vertically in the height direction, and an insulator region extending horizontally in the length direction to electrically insulate the first portion of the bottom semiconductor fin from the second portion of the bottom semiconductor fin. The insulator region further extends vertically in the height direction in vertical alignment with the top semiconductor fin. The insulator region includes at least one of an insulator material and an airgap. In an embodiment, the top semiconductor fin is associated with a transistor, and the insulator region is in vertical alignment with a gate electrode of the transistor.
