Abstract: Wrap-around contact structures for semiconductor nanowires and nanoribbons, and methods of fabricating wrap-around contact structures for semiconductor nanowires and nanoribbons, are described. In an example, an integrated circuit structure includes a semiconductor nanowire above a first portion of a semiconductor sub-fin. A gate structure surrounds a channel portion of the semiconductor nanowire. A source or drain region is at a first side of the gate structure, the source or drain region including an epitaxial structure on a second portion of the semiconductor sub-fin, the epitaxial structure having substantially vertical sidewalls in alignment with the second portion of the semiconductor sub-fin. A conductive contact structure is along sidewalls of the second portion of the semiconductor sub-fin and along the substantially vertical sidewalls of the epitaxial structure.

Abstract: A transistor cell including a deep via that is at least partially lined with a dielectric material. The deep via may extend down to a substrate over which the transistor is disposed. The deep via may be directly connected to a terminal of the transistor, such as the source or drain, to interconnect the transistor with an interconnect metallization level disposed in the substrate under the transistor, or on at opposite side of the substrate as the transistor. Parasitic capacitance associated with the close proximity of the deep via metallization to one or more terminals of the transistor may be reduced by lining at least a portion of the deep via sidewall with dielectric material, partially necking the deep via metallization in a region adjacent to the transistor.

Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms for imposing stress on a channel region of an NMOS transistor. In an embodiment, a fin structure on a semiconductor substrate includes two source or drain regions of the transistor, wherein a channel region of the transistor is located between the source or drain regions. At least on such source or drain region includes a doped silicon germanium (SiGe) compound, wherein dislocations in the SiGe compound result in the at least one source or drain region exerting a tensile stress on the channel region. In another embodiment, source or drain regions of a transistor each include a SiGe compound which comprises at least 50 wt % germanium.

Abstract: Integrated circuit (IC) strata including one or more transistor and one or more semiconductor diode. A transistor may include one or more non-planar semiconductor bodies in which there is a channel region while the diode also includes one or more non-planar semiconductor bodies in which there is a p-type region, an n-type region, or both. One IC stratum may be only hundreds of nanometers in thickness and include both front-side and back-side interconnect levels. The front-side interconnect level is disposed over a front side of one or more of the non-planar semiconductor bodies and is coupled to at least one terminal of the transistor. The back-side interconnect level is disposed over a back side of one or more of the non-planar semiconductor bodies and is coupled to at least one terminal of the semiconductor diode.

Abstract: Integrated circuit (IC) cell architectures including a crenellated interconnect trace layout. A crenellated trace layout may be employed where an IC cell includes transistor having a source/drain terminal interconnected through a back-side (3D) routing scheme that reduces front-side routing density for a given transistor footprint. In the crenellated layout, adjacent interconnect traces or tracks may have their ends staggered according to a crenellation phase for the cell. Crenellated tracks may intersect one cell boundary with adjacent tracks intersecting an opposite cell boundary. Track ends may be offset by at least the width of an underlying orthogonal interconnect trace. Crenellated track ends may be offset by the width of an underlying orthogonal interconnect trace and half a spacing between adjacent orthogonal interconnect traces.

Abstract: Metallization structures under a semiconductor device layer. A metallization structure in alignment with semiconductor fin may be on a side of the fin opposite a gate stack. Backside and/or frontside substrate processing techniques may be employed to form such metallization structures on a bottom of a semiconductor fin or between bottom portions of two adjacent fins. Such metallization structures may accompany interconnect metallization layers that are over a gate stack, for example to increase metallization layer density for a given number of semiconductor device layers.
