  • Publication number: 20240194767
    Abstract: Semiconductor structures and methods of forming the same are provided. A method according to the present disclosure includes forming a stack of epitaxial layers over a substrate, forming a first fin-like structure and a second fin-like structure from the stack, forming an isolation feature between the first fin-like structure and the second fin-like structure, forming a cladding layer over the first fin-like structure and the second fin-like structure, conformally depositing a first dielectric layer over the cladding layer, depositing a second dielectric layer over the first dielectric layer, planarizing the first dielectric layer and the second dielectric layer until the cladding layer are exposed, performing an etch process to etch the second dielectric layer to form a helmet recess, performing a trimming process to trim the first dielectric layer to widen the helmet recess, and depositing a helmet feature in the widened helmet recess.

  • Publication number: 20240186180
    Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) structure includes a gate structure, a source epitaxial structure, a drain epitaxial structure, a front-side interconnection structure, a backside dielectric layer, and a backside via. The source epitaxial structure and the drain epitaxial structure are respectively on opposite sides of the gate structure. The front-side interconnection structure is on a front-side of the source epitaxial structure and a front-side of the drain epitaxial structure. The backside dielectric layer is on a backside of the source epitaxial structure and a backside of the drain epitaxial structure and has an air gap therein. The backside via extends through the backside dielectric layer to a first one of the source epitaxial structure and the drain epitaxial structure.

  • Publication number: 20240105814
    Abstract: A first layer is formed over a substrate; a second layer is formed over the first layer; and a third layer is formed over the second layer. The first and third layers each have a first semiconductor element; the second layer has a second semiconductor element different from the first semiconductor element. The second layer has the second semiconductor element at a first concentration in a first region and at a second concentration in a second region of the second layer. A source/drain trench is formed in a region of the stack to expose side surfaces of the layers. A first portion of the second layer is removed from the exposed side surface to form a gap between the first and the third layers. A spacer is formed in the gap. A source/drain feature is formed in the source/drain trench and on a sidewall of the spacer.

  • Publication number: 20210104584
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a light-emitting panel includes forming a plurality of transistors on a substrate, forming an ILD on the substrate to cover the transistors; and forming a plurality of first through holes penetrating the ILD to partially expose the transistors. The method further includes forming a plurality of conductive features on the ILD and in the first through holes to electrically connect the transistors; forming a first passivation layer on the ILD to cover the conductive features; and planarizing the first passivation layer. The method further includes forming a second through hole penetrating the first passivation layer to partially expose one of the conductive features; and forming a light-emitting device on the planarized first passivation layer, wherein the light-emitting device includes a first electrode formed on the planarized first passivation layer and in the second through hole to electrically connect the exposed conductive feature.
