Patent attributes
A method of forming a semiconductor device and resulting device. The method may form a first gate on a gate region of a starting substrate. The starting substrate includes alternating sacrificial layers and semiconductor layers above a buffer sacrificial layer located on a bulk substrate. The method may remove the starting substrate located between the gates. Etching the starting substrate creates a trench into the bulk substrate. The method may form an insulating layer on the inside of the trench. The method may form a masking layer over in the trench in the starting substrate covering a portion of the insulating layer, but below a top surface of the buffer layer. The method may remove the unmasked portion of the insulating layer. The method may form a source/drain in the trench. The method may remove the buffer sacrificial layer, and the sacrificial layers in the layered nanosheet.
