  • Patent number: 11276576
    Abstract: A method of forming gate structures to a nanosheet device that includes forming at least two stacks of nanosheets, wherein each nanosheet includes a channel region portion having a gate dielectric layer present thereon. The method may further include forming a dual metal layer scheme on the gate dielectric layer of each nanosheet. The dual metal layer scheme including an etch stop layer of a first composition and a work function adjusting layer of a second composition, wherein the etch stop layer has a composition that provides that the work function adjusting layer is removable by a wet etch chemistry that is selective to the etch stop layer.

  • Patent number: 11081542
    Abstract: A buried metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitor with landing pads is formed between first and second semiconductor substrates. The landing pads provide increased area for contacting which may decrease the contact resistors of the capacitor. The area of the buried MIM capacitor can be varied to provide a tailored capacitance. The buried MIM capacitor is thermally stable since the MIM capacitor includes refractory metal or metal alloy layers as the capacitor plates.
