Patent number: 12261203Abstract: A semiconductor device structure is provided. The semiconductor device structure includes a substrate including a base and a fin structure over the base. The fin structure includes a nanostructure. The semiconductor device structure includes a gate stack over the base and wrapped around the nanostructure. The gate stack has an upper portion and a sidewall portion, the upper portion is over the nanostructure, and the sidewall portion is over a first sidewall of the nanostructure. The semiconductor device structure includes a first inner spacer and a second inner spacer over opposite sides of the sidewall portion. A sum of a first width of the first inner spacer and a second width of the second inner spacer is greater than a third width of the sidewall portion as measured along a longitudinal axis of the fin structure.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2022Date of Patent: March 25, 2025Assignee: TAIWAN SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFACTURING COMPANY, LTD.Inventors: Chien-Chih Lin, Yun-Ju Pan, Szu-Chi Yang, Jhih-Yang Yan, Shih-Hao Lin, Chung-Shu Wu, Te-An Yu, Shih-Chiang Chen

Patent number: 11864369Abstract: A device includes a first horizontal-gate-all-around (HGAA) transistor, a second HGAA transistor, a first vertical-gate-all-around (VGAA) transistor, and a second VGAA transistor. The first HGAA transistor and the second HGAA transistor are adjacent to each other. The first VGAA transistor is over the first HGAA transistor. The second VGAA transistor is over the second HGAA transistor. A top surface of the first VGAA transistor is substantially coplanar with a top surface of the second VGAA transistor.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2022Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignees: TAIWAN SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFACTURING CO., LTD., NATIONAL TAIWAN UNIVERSITYInventors: Hung-Yu Ye, Chung-Yi Lin, Yun-Ju Pan, Chee-Wee Liu
