    Abstract: Fin trim plug structures for imparting channel stress are described. In an example, an integrated circuit structure includes a fin including silicon, the fin having a top and sidewalls. The fin has a trench separating a first fin portion and a second fin portion. A first gate structure including a gate electrode is over the top of and laterally adjacent to the sidewalls of the first fin portion. A second gate structure including a gate electrode is over the top of and laterally adjacent to the sidewalls of the second fin portion. An isolation structure is in the trench of the fin, the isolation structure between the first gate structure and the second gate structure. The isolation structure includes a first dielectric material laterally surrounding a recessed second dielectric material distinct from the first dielectric material, the recessed second dielectric material laterally surrounding an oxidation catalyst layer.

    Abstract: Self-aligned gate endcap (SAGE) architectures with gate-all-around devices above insulator substrates, and methods of fabricating self-aligned gate endcap (SAGE) architectures with gate-all-around devices above insulator substrates, are described. In an example, an integrated circuit structure includes includes a semiconductor nanowire above an insulator substrate and having a length in a first direction. A gate structure is around the semiconductor nanowire, the gate structure having a first end opposite a second end in a second direction, orthogonal to the first direction. A pair of gate endcap isolation structures is included. The first of the pair of gate endcap isolation structures is directly adjacent to the first end of the gate structure, and the second of the pair of gate endcap isolation structures is directly adjacent to the second end of the gate structure.

    Abstract: Gate-all-around integrated circuit structures having asymmetric source and drain contact structures, and methods of fabricating gate-all-around integrated circuit structures having asymmetric source and drain contact structures, are described. For example, an integrated circuit structure includes a vertical arrangement of nanowires above a fin. A gate stack is over the vertical arrangement of nanowires. A first epitaxial source or drain structure is at a first end of the vertical arrangement of nanowires. A second epitaxial source or drain structure is at a second end of the vertical arrangement of nanowires. A first conductive contact structure is coupled to the first epitaxial source or drain structure. A second conductive contact structure is coupled to the second epitaxial source or drain structure. The second conductive contact structure is deeper along the fin than the first conductive contact structure.

    Abstract: Gate-all-around integrated circuit structures having oxide sub-fins, and methods of fabricating gate-all-around integrated circuit structures having oxide sub-fins, are described. For example, an integrated circuit structure includes an oxide sub-fin structure having a top and sidewalls. An oxidation catalyst layer is on the top and sidewalls of the oxide sub-fin structure. A vertical arrangement of nanowires is above the oxide sub-fin structure. A gate stack is surrounding the vertical arrangement of nanowires and on at least the portion of the oxidation catalyst layer on the top of the oxide sub-fin structure.
