  • Publication number: 20240153947
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure are in the field of advanced integrated circuit structure fabrication and, in particular, 10 nanometer node and smaller integrated circuit structure fabrication and the resulting structures. In an example, an integrated circuit structure includes a first isolation structure over a first end of a fin. A gate structure is over the fin and is spaced apart from the first isolation structure along the direction. A second isolation structure is over a second end of the fin, the second end opposite the first end. The second isolation structure is spaced apart from the gate structure. The first isolation structure and the second isolation structure both comprise a first dielectric material laterally surrounding a recessed second dielectric material distinct from the first dielectric material. The recessed second dielectric material laterally surrounds at least a portion of a third dielectric material different from the first and second dielectric materials.

  • Patent number: 10693006
    Abstract: The present description relates the formation of a first level interlayer dielectric material layer within a non-planar transistor, which may be formed by a spin-on coating technique followed by oxidation and annealing. The first level interlayer dielectric material layer may be substantially void free and may exert a tensile strain on the source/drain regions of the non-planar transistor.
