    Abstract: A method of fabricating a semiconductor device includes forming a fin on a substrate. Source/drain regions are arranged on the substrate on opposing sides of the fin. The method includes depositing a semiconductor layer on the source/drain regions. The method includes depositing a germanium containing layer on the fin and the semiconductor layer. The method further includes applying an anneal operation configured to chemically react the semiconductor layer with the germanium containing layer and form a silicon oxide layer.

    Abstract: A gate structure for effective work function adjustments of semiconductor devices that includes a gate dielectric on a channel region of a semiconductor device; a first metal nitride in direct contact with the gate dielectric; a conformal carbide of Aluminum material layer having an aluminum content greater than 30 atomic wt. %; and a second metal nitride layer in direct contact with the conformal aluminum (Al) and carbon (C) containing material layer. The conformal carbide of aluminum (Al) layer includes aluminum carbide, or Al4C3, yielding an aluminum (Al) content up to 57 atomic % (at. %) and work function setting from 3.9 eV to 5.0 eV at thicknesses below 25 Å. Such structures can present metal gate length scaling and resistance benefit below 25 nm compared to state of the art work function electrodes.

    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a method and resulting structures for a vertical field effect transistor (VFET) having a reduced bottom contact resistance. A multilayered bottom doped region having alternating doped layers and doped sacrificial layers is formed on a substrate. One or more cavities are formed by removing portions of the doped sacrificial layers. A bottom contact is formed over the multilayered bottom doped region. The bottom contact includes one or more conductive flanges that fill the cavities.
