    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to methods and resulting structures for nanosheet devices having defect free channels. In a non-limiting embodiment of the invention, a nanosheet stack is formed over a substrate. The nanosheet stack includes alternating first sacrificial layers and second sacrificial layers. One layer of the first sacrificial layers has a greater thickness than the remaining first sacrificial layers. The first sacrificial layers are removed and semiconductor layers are formed on surfaces of the second sacrificial layers. The semiconductor layers include a first set and a second set of semiconductor layers. The second sacrificial layers are removed and an isolation dielectric is formed between the first set and the second set of semiconductor layers.

    Abstract: A method is presented for improved linearity of a phase change memory (PCM) cell structure. The method includes forming a bottom electrode (12) over a substrate (10), constructing a PCM stack (20) including a plurality of PCM layers each having a different crystallization temperature over the bottom electrode (12), and forming a top electrode (32) over the PCM stack (20). The crystallization temperature varies in an ascending order from the bottom electrode (12) to the top electrode (32).

    Abstract: A semiconductor structure includes a substrate, a vertical fin disposed over a top surface of the substrate, a first vertical transport field-effect transistor (VTFET) disposed over the top surface of the substrate surrounding a first portion of the vertical fin, an isolation layer disposed over the first VTFET surrounding a second portion of the vertical fin, and a second VTFET disposed over a top surface of the isolation layer surrounding a third portion of the vertical fin. The first portion of the vertical fin includes a first semiconductor layer with a first crystalline orientation providing a first vertical transport channel for the first VTFET, the second portion of the vertical fin includes an insulator, and the third portion of the vertical fin includes a second semiconductor layer with a second crystalline orientation providing a second vertical transport channel for the second VTFET.
