  • Publication number: 20170098661
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a series of metal routing layers and a complementary pair of planar field-effect transistors (FETs) on an upper metal routing layer of the metal routing layers. The upper metal routing layer is M3 or higher. Each of the FETs includes a channel region of a crystalline material. The crystalline material may include one or more transition metal dichalcogenide materials such as MoS2, WS2, WSe2, and/or combinations thereof.

  • Patent number: 9461114
    Abstract: A device may include a nanosheet field effect transistor (FET) that may include a substrate, a well that is doped with impurities at a surface of the substrate, a channel including a plurality of stacked nanosheets, a gate, a conductive material, and an isolation layer. Ones of the plurality of stacked nanosheets may include a semiconductor material that may be doped with impurities of the same conductivity type as the impurities of the well. The conductive material may be adjacent the plurality of nanosheets and may electrically connect ones of the plurality of nanosheets to the well. The isolation layer may electrically insulate the well from the workfunction metal.
