  • Publication number: 20240153824
    Abstract: A method includes forming a stack of channel layers and sacrificial layers over a substrate, patterning the stack to form a fin-shape structure, and recessing a portion of the fin-shape structure to form a recess. A top surface of the substrate under the recess is covered at least by a bottommost sacrificial layer of the stack. The method also includes forming inner spacers on terminal ends of the sacrificial layers that are above the bottommost sacrificial layer, depositing an undoped layer in the recess, and forming a doped epitaxial feature over the undoped layer. The undoped layer covers terminal ends of a bottommost channel layer of the stack. The doped epitaxial feature covers terminal ends of the channel layers that are above the bottommost channel layer.

  • Publication number: 20240153993
    Abstract: Semiconductor devices and methods of fabrication are described herein. The method includes steps for patterning fins in a multilayer stack and forming an opening in a fin and into a substrate as an initial step in forming a source/drain region. A first semiconductor material is epitaxially grown from channels exposed along sidewalls of the opening to form first source/drain structures. A second semiconductor material is epitaxially grown from the first semiconductor material to form a second source/drain structure over and to fill a space between the first source/drain structures. A bottom of the second source/drain structure is located below a bottommost surface of the first source/drain structures. The second semiconductor material has a greater concentration percentage by volume of germanium than the first semiconductor material. A stack of nanostructures is formed by removing sacrificial layers of the multilayer stack, the second semiconductor material being electrically coupled to the nanostructures.

    Abstract: An electronic door lock with up-pushed locking is provided and includes a housing, a fixed latch assembly assembled in the housing, a linkage member and a first driving member. The first driving member is linked with an outer handle located outside a door. When a user lifts the outer handle, the first driving member is pulled to drive the linkage member, so that the linkage member abuts against a protruding rod located at a rear end of the fixed latch assembly, thereby pushing the fixed latch assembly to actuate, so that a fixed latch head of the fixed latch assembly protrudes out of the housing and the electronic door lock is locked. Accordingly, the problem that the user must use a key to lock the electronic door lock when the user is outside the door can be solved.
