Abstract: Techniques are provided herein to form semiconductor devices having a frontside and backside contact in an epi region of a stacked transistor configuration. In one example, an n-channel device and a p-channel device may both be GAA transistors where the n-channel device is located vertically above the p-channel device (or vice versa). Source or drain regions are adjacent to both ends of the n-channel device and the p-channel device. Deep and narrow contacts may be formed from both the frontside and the backside of the integrated circuit through the stacked source or drain regions. The contacts may physically contact each other to form a combined contact that extends through an entirety of the stacked source or drain regions. The higher contact area provided to both source or drain regions provides a more robust ohmic contact with a lower contact resistance compared to previous contact architectures.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein include forksheet transistor devices having a dielectric or a conductive spine. For example, an integrated circuit structure includes a dielectric spine. A first transistor device includes a first vertical stack of semiconductor channels spaced apart from a first edge of the dielectric spine. A second transistor device includes a second vertical stack of semiconductor channels spaced apart from a second edge of the dielectric spine. An N-type gate structure is on the first vertical stack of semiconductor channels, a portion of the N-type gate structure laterally between and in contact with the first edge of the dielectric spine and the first vertical stack of semiconductor channels. A P-type gate structure is on the second vertical stack of semiconductor channels, a portion of the P-type gate structure laterally between and in contact with the second edge of the dielectric spine and the second vertical stack of semiconductor channels.

Abstract: Techniques are provided herein to form gate-all-around (GAA) semiconductor devices utilizing a metal fill in an epi region of a stacked transistor configuration. In one example, an n-channel device and the p-channel device may both be GAA transistors each having any number of nanoribbons extending in the same direction where the n-channel device is located vertically above the p-channel device (or vice versa). Source or drain regions are adjacent to both ends of the n-channel device and the p-channel device. A metal fill may be provided around the source or drain region of the bottom semiconductor device to provide a high contact area between the highly conductive metal fill and the epitaxial material of that source or drain region. Metal fill may also be used around the top source or drain region to further improve conductivity throughout both of the stacked source or drain regions.

Abstract: Techniques are provided herein to form a forksheet device with an air gap spine. The air gap may be devoid of gas, or not. In an example, the device includes a first semiconductor body laterally extending from a first side of a void (air gap) and having an end surface that defines part of the first side of the void, and a second semiconductor body laterally extending from a second side of the void and having an end surface that defines part of the second side of the void. A first gate structure is on the first semiconductor body, and a second gate structure is on the second semiconductor body. In some cases, a spacer structure is between a source or drain region and the corresponding gate structure, the spacer structure including one or more portions of the void. The void may be created with a backside process, post-device formation.

Abstract: Techniques are provided herein to form a forksheet transistor device with a dielectric overhang structure. The dielectric overhang structure includes a dielectric layer that at least partially hangs over the nanoribbons of each semiconductor device in the forksheet transistor and is directly coupled to, or is an integral part of, the dielectric spine between the semiconductor devices. The overhang structure allows for a higher alignment tolerance when forming different work function metals over each of the different semiconductor devices, which in turn allows for narrower dielectric spines to be used. A first gate structure that includes a first work function metal may be formed around the nanoribbons of the n-channel device and a second gate structure that includes a second work function metal may be formed around the nanoribbons of the p-channel device in the forksheet arrangement.

Abstract: Backside integrated circuit capacitor structures. In an example, a capacitor structure includes a layer of ferroelectric material between first and second electrodes. The first electrode can be connected to a transistor terminal by a backside contact that extends downward from a bottom surface of the transistor terminal to the first electrode. The transistor terminal can be, for instance, a source or drain region, and the backside contact can be self-aligned with the source or drain region. The second electrode can be connected to a backside interconnect feature. In some cases, the capacitor has a height that extends through at least one backside interconnect layer. In some cases, the capacitor is a multi-plate capacitor in which the second conductor is one of a plurality of plate line conductors arranged in a staircase structure. The capacitor structure may be, for example, part of a non-volatile memory device or the cache of a processor.
