Abstract: Structures for a field-effect transistor and methods of forming structures for a field-effect transistor. A layer stack includes nanosheet channel layers arranged to alternate with sacrificial layers. First and second gate structures are formed that extend across the layer stack and that are separated by a first gap. First and sidewall spacers are formed over the layer stack and within the first gap respectively adjacent to the first and second gate structures, and the layer stack is subsequently etched to form first and second body features that are separated by a second gap. The sacrificial layers are recessed relative to the nanosheet channel layers to define indents in the first and second body features, and the first and second sidewall spacers are subsequently removed. After removing the first and second sidewall spacers, a conformal layer is deposited in the second gap that fills the indents to define inner spacers.

Abstract: Methods form devices by creating openings in sacrificial gates between nanosheet stacks (alternating layers of a first material and channel structures), forming spacers in the openings, and removing the sacrificial gates to leave the spacers. The first material is then removed from between the channel structures. A first work function metal is formed around and between the channel structures. Next, first stacks (of the stacks) are protected with a mask to leave second stacks (of the stacks) exposed. Then, the first work function metal is removed from the second stacks while the first stacks are protected by the mask and the spacers. Subsequently, a second work function metal is formed around and between the channel structures of the second stacks. A gate material is then formed over the first work function metal and the second work function metal.

Abstract: In the manufacture of a semiconductor device, electrical interconnects are formed by depositing a dielectric layer over source/drain regions, and forming a continuous trench within the dielectric layer. The trench may traverse plural source/drain regions associated with adjacent devices. The electrical interconnects are thereafter formed by metallizing the trench and patterning the metallization layers to form discrete interconnects over and in electrical contact with respective source/drain regions. The source/drain interconnects exhibit a reentrant profile, which presents a larger contact area to later-formed conductive contacts than a conventional tapered profile, and thus improve manufacturability and yield.

Abstract: Disclosed are integrated circuit (IC) structures and formation methods. In the methods, a gate with a sacrificial gate cap and a sacrificial gate sidewall spacer is formed on a channel region. The cap and sidewall spacer are removed, creating a cavity with a lower portion between the sidewalls of the gate and adjacent metal plugs and with an upper portion above the lower portion and the gate. A first dielectric layer is deposited, forming an air-gap in the lower portion and lining the upper portion. A second dielectric layer is deposited, filling the upper portion. During formation of a gate contact opening (optionally over an active region), the second dielectric layer is removed and the first dielectric layer is anisotropically etched, thereby exposing the gate and creating a dielectric spacer with a lower air-gap segment and an upper solid segment. Metal deposited into the opening forms the gate contact.

Abstract: Methods and structures that include a vertical-transport field-effect transistor. A semiconductor fin is formed that projects from a first source/drain region. A second source/drain region is spaced vertically along the semiconductor fin from the first source/drain region. A gate stack is arranged between the second source/drain region and the first source/drain region. A spacer is formed adjacent to a sidewall of the second source/drain region. A first contact is connected with a top surface of the second source/drain region, a second contact is connected with a top surface of the first source/drain region, and a third contact is connected with a top surface of the gate stack. The spacer is arranged between the second source/drain region and the second contact or between the second source/drain region and the third contact.

Abstract: One method includes forming a gate above a semiconductor substrate, the gate comprising a gate structure and a gate cap positioned above the gate structure, forming a conductive source/drain metallization structure adjacent the gate in each of the source/drain regions and forming a recess in each of the conductive source/drain metallization structures. The method further includes forming a spacer structure that comprises recess filling portions that substantially fill the recesses and a portion that extends across the gate cap, wherein a portion of the gate cap is exposed within the spacer structure, forming an insulating material within the spacer structure and on the exposed portion of the gate cap, forming a gate contact opening that exposes a portion of an upper surface of the gate structure and forming a conductive gate contact structure (CB) in the conductive gate contact opening.

The method also includes forming the metallization trench in the layer of insulating material on opposite sides of the metallization blocking structure and forming a conductive metallization line in the metallization trench on opposite sides of the metallization blocking structure.

Abstract: Formation of a bottom junction in vertical FET devices may include, for instance, providing an intermediate semiconductor structure comprising a semiconductor substrate, a fin disposed on the semiconductor substrate. The fin has a top surface, spaced-apart vertical sides. A mask is disposed over the top surface of the fin, and at least one is disposed over the vertical sides of the fin. Portions of the substrate are removed to define spaced-apart recesses each extending below a respective one of the spacers. Semiconductor material is grown, such as epitaxially grown, in the recesses.
