  • Patent number: 12132118
    Abstract: Semiconductor devices and methods of fabricating the semiconductor devices are described herein. The method includes steps for patterning fins in a multilayer stack and forming an opening in a fin as an initial step in forming a source/drain region. The opening is formed into a parasitic channel region of the fin. Once the opening has been formed, a first semiconductor material is epitaxially grown at the bottom of the opening to a level over the top of the parasitic channel region. A second semiconductor material is epitaxially grown from the top of the first semiconductor material to fill and/or overfill the opening. The second semiconductor material is differently doped from 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.

  • Patent number: 12130248
    Abstract: A heat source simulation structure includes a heating body and a heating member to form a simulation heat source main body for conducting heat. The simulation heat source main body is enclosed in an outer case and a heating substrate with electrical insulation and heat insulation properties to avoid dissipation of the heat. The heating member is electrically connected with an external power supply for heating the heating body. A thermocouple member is disposed on the heating body corresponding to the heating member. A temperature monitoring port is connected with a data collection meter for recording the temperature of the heating body. By means of the heat insulation design enclosing the simulation heat source main body, the contact thermal resistance between the heating member and the heating body is reduced, further to lower the heat loss of the heat source simulation structure and enhance the measurement precision and reliability.
