  • Publication number: 20230317783
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein may be related to forming nano ribbon transistors using layered 2D semiconductor channels. The layered 2D semiconductor channels may be created by forming a scaffold structure that has a first edge that extends from a silicon-based substrate, and a second edge opposite the first edge that is distal to the silicon based substrate. Alternating layers of 2D semiconductor material and a 3D semiconductor material may then be built on the second edge of the scaffold structure. In embodiments, the 3D semiconductor material may then be removed and a gate material deposited around at least a portion of the layers of 2D semiconductor material.

  • Publication number: 20230197512
    Abstract: Integrated circuit interconnect structures including an interconnect line metallization feature subjected to one or more chalcogenation techniques to form a cap may reduce line resistance. A top portion of a bulk line material may be advantageously crystallized into a metal chalcogenide cap with exceptionally large crystal structure. Accordingly, chalcogenation of a top portion of a bulk material can lower scattering resistance of an interconnect line relative to alternatives where the bulk material is capped with an alternative material, such as an amorphous dielectric or a fine grained metallic or graphitic material.

  • Publication number: 20230197860
    Abstract: A metal chalcogenide material layer of lower quality provides a transition between a metal chalcogenide material layer of higher quality and a gate insulator material that separates the metal chalcogenide material layers from a gate electrode of a metal-oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) structure. Gate insulator material may be more readily initiated and/or or precisely controlled to a particular thickness when formed on lower quality metal chalcogenide material. Accordingly, such a material stack may be integrated into a variety of transistor structures, including multi-gate, multi-channel nanowire or nanosheet transistor structures.
