Abstract: A method of fabricating a device includes forming a dummy gate over a plurality of fins. Thereafter, a first portion of the dummy gate is removed to form a first trench that exposes a first hybrid fin and a first part of a second hybrid fin. The method further includes filling the first trench with a dielectric material disposed over the first hybrid fin and over the first part of the second hybrid fin. Thereafter, a second portion of the dummy gate is removed to form a second trench and the second trench is filled with a metal layer. The method further includes etching-back the metal layer, where a first plane defined by a first top surface of the metal layer is disposed beneath a second plane defined by a second top surface of a second part of the second hybrid fin after the etching-back the metal layer.

Abstract: A device includes: a stack of semiconductor nanostructures; a gate structure wrapping around the semiconductor nanostructures, the gate structure extending in a first direction; a source/drain region abutting the gate structure and the stack in a second direction transverse the first direction; a contact structure on the source/drain region; a backside conductive trace under the stack, the backside conductive trace extending in the second direction; a first through via that extends vertically from the contact structure to a top surface of the backside dielectric layer; and a gate isolation structure that abuts the first through via in the second direction.

Abstract: A semiconductor device comprises a first semiconductor structure, a second semiconductor structure located on the first semiconductor structure, and an active layer located between the first semiconductor structure and the second semiconductor structure. The first semiconductor structure has a first conductivity type, and includes a plurality of first layers and a plurality of second layers alternately stacked. The second semiconductor structure has a second conductivity type opposite to the first conductivity type. The plurality of first layers and the plurality of second layers include indium and phosphorus, and the plurality of first layers and the plurality of second layers respectively have a first indium atomic percentage and a second indium atomic percentage. The second indium atomic percentage is different from the first indium atomic percentage.
