Abstract: A transistor includes a body of semiconductor material, where the body has laterally opposed body sidewalls and a top surface. A gate structure contacts the top surface of the body. A source region contacts a first one of the laterally opposed body sidewalls and a drain region contacts a second one of the laterally opposed body sidewalls. A first isolation region is under the source region and has a top surface in contact with a bottom surface of the source region. A second isolation region is under the drain region and has a top surface in contact with a bottom surface of the drain region. Depending on the transistor configuration, a major portion of the inner-facing sidewalls of the first and second isolation regions contact respective sidewalls of either a subfin structure (e.g., FinFET transistor configurations) or a lower portion of a gate structure (e.g., gate-all-around transistor configuration).

Abstract: Thin film transistor structures may include a regrown source or drain material between a channel material and source or drain contact metallization. The source or drain material may be selectively deposited at low temperatures to backfill recesses formed in the channel material. Electrically active dopant impurities may be introduced in-situ during deposition of the source or drain material. The source or drain material may overlap a portion of a gate electrode undercut by the recesses. With channel material of a first composition and source or drain material of a second composition, thin film transistor structures may display low external resistance and high channel mobility.

The first device includes (i) a first source region, and a first source contact including a first conductive material, (ii) a first drain region, and a first drain contact including the first conductive material, and (iii) a first body laterally between the first source region and the first drain region. The second device includes (i) a second source region, and a second source contact including a second conductive material, (ii) a second drain region, and a second drain contact including the second conductive material, and (iii) a second body laterally between the second source region and the second drain region. The first and second conductive materials are compositionally different. The first conductive material induces compressive strain on the first body, and the second conductive material induces tensile strain on the second body.

Abstract: A gate-all-around transistor device includes a body including a semiconductor material, and a gate structure at least in part wrapped around the body. The gate structure includes a gate electrode and a gate dielectric between the body and the gate electrode. The body is between a source region and a drain region. A first spacer is between the source region and the gate electrode, and a second spacer is between the drain region and the gate electrode.
