Abstract: Embodiments herein describe techniques for an integrated circuit (IC). The IC may include a lower device layer that includes a first transistor structure, an upper device layer above the lower device layer including a second transistor structure, and an isolation wall that extends between the upper device layer and the lower device layer. The isolation wall may be in contact with an edge of a first gate structure of the first transistor structure and an edge of a second gate structure of the second transistor structure, and may have a first width to the edge of the first gate structure at the lower device layer, and a second width to the edge of the second gate structure at the upper device layer. The first width may be different from the second width. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract: Techniques are provided herein to form semiconductor devices having a stacked transistor configuration. In an example, an upper (e.g., n-channel) device and a lower (e.g., p-channel) device may both be gate-all-around (GAA) transistors each having any number of nanoribbons extending in the same direction where the upper device is located vertically above the lower device. According to some embodiments, an internal spacer structure extends between the nanoribbons of the upper device and the nanoribbons of the lower device along the vertical direction, where the spacer structure has a stepwise or an otherwise outwardly protruding profile as it extends between the nanoribbons of the upper device and the lower device. Accordingly, in one example, a gate structure formed around the nanoribbons of both the n-channel device and the p-channel device exhibits a greater width in the region between the nanoribbons of the n-channel device and the nanoribbons of the p-channel device.

Abstract: A DRAM integrated circuit device is described in which at least some of the peripheral circuits associated with the memory arrays are provided on a first substrate. The memory arrays are provided on a second substrate stacked on the first substrate, thus forming a DRAM integrated circuit device on a stacked-substrate assembly. Vias that electrically connect the memory arrays on the second substrate to the peripheral circuits on the first substrate are fabricated using high aspect ratio via fabrication techniques.

Abstract: Embodiments herein describe techniques for a semiconductor device over a semiconductor substrate. A first bonding layer is above the semiconductor substrate. One or more nanowires are formed above the first bonding layer to be a channel layer. A gate electrode is around a nanowire, where the gate electrode is in contact with the first bonding layer and separated from the nanowire by a gate dielectric layer. A source electrode or a drain electrode is in contact with the nanowire, above a bonding area of a second bonding layer, and separated from the gate electrode by a spacer, where the second bonding layer is above and in direct contact with the first bonding layer.

Abstract: Embodiments herein describe techniques for a thin-film transistor (TFT), which may include a substrate oriented in a horizontal direction and a transistor above the substrate. The transistor includes a gate electrode above the substrate, a gate dielectric layer around the gate electrode, and a channel layer around the gate dielectric layer, all oriented in a vertical direction substantially orthogonal to the horizontal direction. Furthermore, a source electrode or a drain electrode is above or below the channel layer, separated from the gate electrode, and in contact with a portion of the channel layer. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract: Embodiments herein describe techniques, systems, and method for a semiconductor device. Embodiments herein may present a semiconductor device including a substrate and an insulator layer above the substrate. A channel area may include an III-V material relaxed grown on the insulator layer. A source area may be above the insulator layer, in contact with the insulator layer, and adjacent to a first end of the channel area. A drain area may be above the insulator layer, in contact with the insulator layer, and adjacent to a second end of the channel area that is opposite to the first end of the channel area. The source area or the drain area may include one or more seed components including a seed material with free surface. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract: Multiple non-silicon semiconductor material layers may be stacked within a fin structure. The multiple non-silicon semiconductor material layers may include one or more layers that are suitable for P-type transistors. The multiple non-silicon semiconductor material layers may further include one or more one or more layers that are suited for N-type transistors. The multiple non-silicon semiconductor material layers may further include one or more intervening layers separating the N-type from the P-type layers. The intervening layers may be at least partially sacrificial, for example to allow one or more of a gate, source, or drain to wrap completely around a channel region of one or more of the N-type and P-type transistors.
