    Abstract: A method for forming a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) semiconductor device includes forming laterally adjacent first and second active regions in a semiconductor layer of a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafer. A stress inducing layer is formed above the first active region to impart stress thereto. Trench isolation regions are formed bounding the first active region and adjacent portions of the stress inducing layer. The stress inducing layer is removed leaving the trench isolation regions to maintain stress imparted to the first active region.

    Abstract: A tunneling transistor is implemented in silicon, using a FinFET device architecture. The tunneling FinFET has a non-planar, vertical, structure that extends out from the surface of a doped drain formed in a silicon substrate. The vertical structure includes a lightly doped fin defined by a subtractive etch process, and a heavily-doped source formed on top of the fin by epitaxial growth. The drain and channel have similar polarity, which is opposite that of the source. A gate abuts the channel region, capacitively controlling current flow through the channel from opposite sides. Source, drain, and gate terminals are all electrically accessible via front side contacts formed after completion of the device. Fabrication of the tunneling FinFET is compatible with conventional CMOS manufacturing processes, including replacement metal gate and self-aligned contact processes. Low-power operation allows the tunneling FinFET to provide a high current density compared with conventional planar devices.

    Abstract: An integrated circuit die includes a substrate having a first layer of semiconductor material, a layer of dielectric material on the first layer of semiconductor material, and a second layer of semiconductor material on the layer of dielectric material. An extended channel region of a transistor is positioned in the second layer of semiconductor material, interacting with a top surface, side surfaces, and potentially portions of a bottom surface of the second layer of semiconductor material. A gate dielectric is positioned on a top surface and on the exposed side surface of the second layer of semiconductor material. A gate electrode is positioned on the top surface and the exposed side surface of the second layer of semiconductor material.

    Abstract: A semi-floating gate transistor is implemented as a vertical FET built on a silicon substrate, wherein the source, drain, and channel are vertically aligned, on top of one another. Current flow between the source and the drain is influenced by a control gate and a semi-floating gate. Front side contacts can be made to each one of the source, drain, and control gate terminals of the vertical semi-floating gate transistor. The vertical semi-floating gate FET further includes a vertical tunneling FET and a vertical diode. Fabrication of the vertical semi-floating gate FET is compatible with conventional CMOS manufacturing processes, including a replacement metal gate process. Low-power operation allows the vertical semi-floating gate FET to provide a high current density compared with conventional planar devices.

    Abstract: A method for forming a semiconductor device includes forming a mask layer on a stressed semiconductor layer of a stressed, semiconductor-on-insulator wafer. An isolation trench bounding the stressed semiconductor layer is formed. The isolation trench extends through the mask layer and into the SOI wafer past an oxide layer thereof. A dielectric body is formed in the isolation trench. A relaxation reduction liner is formed on the dielectric body and on an adjacent sidewall of the stressed semiconductor layer. The mask layer on the stressed semiconductor layer is removed.
