Abstract: Stacked transistor structures and methods of forming same. In an embodiment, a stacked transistor structure has a wide central pedestal region and at least one relatively narrower channel region above and/or below the wider central pedestal region. The upper and lower channel regions are configured with a non-planar architecture, and include one or more semiconductor fins, nanowires, and/or nanoribbons. The top and bottom channel regions may be configured the same or differently, with respect to shape and/or semiconductor materials. In some cases, an outermost sidewall of one or both the top and/or bottom channel region structures, is collinear with an outermost sidewall of the wider central pedestal region. In some such cases, the outermost sidewall of the top channel region structure is collinear with the outermost sidewall of the bottom channel region structure. Top and bottom transistor structures (NMOS/PMOS) may be formed using the top and bottom channel region structures.

Abstract: A buffer layer is deposited on a substrate. A first III-V semiconductor layer is deposited on the buffer layer. A second III-V semiconductor layer is deposited on the first III-V semiconductor layer. The second III-V semiconductor layer comprises a channel portion and a source/drain portion. The first III-V semiconductor layer acts as an etch stop layer to etch a portion of the second III-V semiconductor layer to form the source/drain portion.

Abstract: Monolithic FETs including a fin of a first semiconductor composition disposed on a sub-fin of a second composition. In some examples, an InGaAs fin is grown over GaAs sub-fin. The sub-fin may be epitaxially grown from a seeding surface disposed within a trench defined in an isolation dielectric. The sub-fin may be planarized with the isolation dielectric. The fin may then be epitaxially grown from the planarized surface of the sub-fin. A gate stack may be disposed over the fin with the gate stack contacting the planarized surface of the isolation dielectric so as to be self-aligned with the interface between the fin and sub-fin. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract: An integrated circuit with at least one transistor is formed using a buffer structure on the substrate. The buffer structure includes one or more layers of buffer material and comprises indium, gallium, and phosphorous. A ratio of indium to gallium in the buffer structure increases from a lower value to a higher value such that the buffer structure has small changes in lattice constant to control relaxation and defects. A source and a drain are on top of the buffer structure and a body of Group III-V semiconductor material extends between and connects the source and the drain. A gate structure wrapped around the body, the gate structure including a gate electrode and a gate dielectric, wherein the gate dielectric is between the body and the gate electrode.

Abstract: A monolithic three-dimensional integrated circuit may include multiple transistor levels separated by one or more levels of metallization. An upper level transistor structure may include monocrystalline source and drain material epitaxially grown from a monocrystalline channel material at a temperature low enough to avoid degradation of a lower level transistor structure and/or degradation of one or more low-k dielectric materials between the transistor levels. A highly conductive n-type silicon source and drain material may be selectively deposited at low temperatures with a high pressure CVD process. Multiple crystals of source drain material arranged in a vertically stacked multi-channel transistor structure may be contacted by a single contact metallization.
