    Abstract: Techniques for increasing Weff VFET devices are provided. In one aspect, a method of forming a fin structure includes: depositing a hardmask onto a substrate; depositing a mandrel material onto the hardmask; patterning the mandrel material along a first direction to form first mandrels; forming first spacers alongside the first mandrels; forming second mandrels in between the first mandrels; pattering the first/second mandrels along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction; forming second spacers, perpendicular to the first spacers, alongside the first/second mandrels; selectively removing the first/second mandrels leaving behind a ladder-shaped pattern formed by the first/second spacers; transferring the ladder-shaped pattern to the hardmask and then to the substrate. A method of forming a VFET device, a VFET fin structure, and a VFET device are also provided.

    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.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a stacked transistor memory cell. The stacked transistor memory cell includes a bottom tier including a plurality of bottom transistors including at least one non-floating transistor and at least one floating transistor. The at least one floating transistor has at least one terminal being electrically disconnected from other transistors of the stacked transistor memory cell. The stacked transistor memory cell further includes a top tier including a at least one top transistor, and a cross-coupling including epitaxial region (epi) connections and gate to epi connections between the top tier and the bottom tier.

    Abstract: A method of forming a vertical transport fin field effect transistor is provided. The method includes forming a doped layer on a substrate, and forming a multilayer fin on the doped layer, where the multilayer fin includes a lower trim layer portion, an upper trim layer portion, and a fin channel portion between the upper and lower trim layer portions. A portion of the lower trim layer portion is removed to form a lower trim layer post, and a portion of the upper trim layer portion is removed to form an upper trim layer post. An upper recess filler is formed adjacent to the upper trim layer post, and a lower recess filler is formed adjacent to the lower trim layer post. A portion of the fin channel portion is removed to form a fin channel post between the upper trim layer post and lower trim layer post.
