Abstract: 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.

Abstract: Gate-all-around integrated circuit structures having depopulated channel structures, and methods of fabricating gate-all-around integrated circuit structures having depopulated channel structures using multiple bottom-up oxidation approaches, are described. For example, an integrated circuit structure includes a vertical arrangement of nanowires. All nanowires of the vertical arrangement of nanowires are oxide nanowires. A gate stack is over the vertical arrangement of nanowires, around each of the oxide nanowires. The gate stack includes a conductive gate electrode.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure may generally relate to systems, apparatus, and/or processes to form volumes of oxide within a fin, such as a Si fin. In embodiments, this may be accomplished by applying a catalytic oxidant material on a side of a fin and then annealing to form a volume of oxide. In embodiments, this may be accomplished by using a plasma implant technique or a beam-line implant technique to introduce oxygen ions into an area of the fin and then annealing to form a volume of oxide. Processes described here may be used manufacture a transistor, a stacked transistor, or a three-dimensional (3-D) monolithic stacked transistor.

Abstract: Devices, transistor structures, systems, and techniques are described herein related to backside contacts for field effect transistors formed using a backside contact etch prior to cavity spacer formation. A transistor includes semiconductor structures such as nanoribbons extending between a source and a drain. A spacer material is between a gate and the source/drain as cavity spacer fill. The spacer material is also between a portion of a backside contact and a portion of the source/drain, to eliminate a short between the backside contact and the gate.

Abstract: Backside contact structures include etch selective materials to facilitate backside contact formation. An integrated circuit structure includes a frontside contact region, a device region below the frontside contact region, and a backside contact region below the device region. The device region includes a transistor. The backside contact region includes a first dielectric material under a source or drain region of the transistor, a second dielectric material laterally adjacent to the first dielectric material and under a gate structure of the transistor. A non-conductive spacer is between the first and second dielectric materials. The first and second dielectric materials are selectively etchable with respect to one another and the spacer. The backside contact region may include an interconnect feature that, for instance, passes through the first dielectric material and contacts a bottom side of the source/drain region, and/or passes through the second dielectric material and contacts the gate structure.
