Abstract: Disclosed are a transistor and a method for forming the transistor. The method includes concurrently forming gate and source/drain openings through an uppermost layer (i.e., a dielectric layer) in a stack of layers. The method can further include: depositing and patterning gate conductor material so that a first gate section is in the gate opening and a second gate section is above the gate opening and so that the source/drain openings are exposed; extending the depth of the source/drain openings; and depositing and patterning source/drain conductor material so that a first source/drain section is in each source/drain opening and a second source/drain section is above each source/drain opening. Alternatively, the method can include: forming a plug in the gate opening and sidewall spacers in the source/drain openings; extending the depth of source/drain openings; depositing and patterning the source/drain conductor material; and subsequently depositing and patterning the gate conductor material.

Abstract: Disclosed is a structure including a semiconductor layer with a device area and, within the device area, a monocrystalline portion and polycrystalline portion(s) that extend through the monocrystalline portion. The structure includes an active device including a device component, which is in device area and which includes polycrystalline portion(s). For example, the device can be a field effect transistor (FET) (e.g., a simple FET or a multi-finger FET for a low noise amplifier or RF switch) with at least one source/drain region, which is in the device area and which includes at least one polycrystalline portion that extends through the monocrystalline portion. The embodiments can vary with regard to the type of structure (e.g., bulk or SOI), with regard to the type of device therein, and also with regard to the number, size, shape, location, orientation, etc. of the polycrystalline portion(s). Also disclosed is a method for forming the structure.

Abstract: Methods of forming structures with electrical isolation. A dielectric layer is formed over a semiconductor substrate, openings are patterned in the dielectric layer that extend to the semiconductor substrate, and a semiconductor material is epitaxially grown from portions of the semiconductor substrate that are respectively exposed inside the openings. The semiconductor material, during growth, defines a semiconductor layer that includes first portions respectively coincident with the openings and second portions that laterally grow from the first portions to merge over a top surface of the dielectric layer. A modified layer containing a trap-rich semiconductor material is formed in the semiconductor substrate.

Abstract: A photodetector includes a photodetecting region in a semiconductor substrate, and a reflector extending at least partially along a sidewall of the photodetecting region in the semiconductor substrate. The reflector includes an air gap defined in the semiconductor substrate. The reflector allows use of thinner germanium for the photodetecting region. The air gap may have a variety of internal features to direct electromagnetic radiation towards the photodetecting region.

Abstract: Semiconductor structures including electrical isolation and methods of forming a semiconductor structure including electrical isolation. Shallow trench isolation regions extend from a top surface of a semiconductor substrate into the semiconductor substrate. The semiconductor substrate contains single-crystal semiconductor material, and the shallow trench isolation regions are positioned to surround an active device region of the semiconductor substrate. A polycrystalline layer is formed in the semiconductor substrate. The polycrystalline layer has a first section beneath the active device region and a second section beneath the plurality of shallow trench isolation regions. The first section of the polycrystalline layer is located at a different depth relative to the top surface of the semiconductor substrate than the second section of the polycrystalline layer.

Abstract: Disclosed are semiconductor structure embodiments of a semiconductor-on-insulator region on a bulk substrate. The semiconductor-on-insulator region includes an upper semiconductor layer above and physically separated from the substrate by insulator-containing cavities (e.g., by dielectric layer and/or a pocket of trapped air, of trapped gas, or under vacuum) and, optionally, by a lower semiconductor layer. Disclosed method embodiments include forming openings that extend vertically through the upper semiconductor layer, through a sacrificial semiconductor layer and, optionally, through a lower semiconductor layer to the substrate. Then, a selective isotropic etch process is performed to form cavities, which extend laterally off the sides of the openings into the sacrificial semiconductor layer. Depending upon the embodiments, different process steps are further performed to form plugs in at least the upper portions of the openings and insulators (including dielectric layers and/or a pocket of trapped air, of trapped gas or under vacuum) in the cavities.
