US Patent 11557678 Transistor, integrated circuit, and manufacturing method

A transistor includes a first gate electrode, a composite channel layer, a first gate dielectric layer, and source/drain contacts. The composite channel layer is over the first gate electrode and includes a first capping layer, a crystalline semiconductor oxide layer, and a second capping layer stacked in sequential order. The first gate dielectric layer is located between the first gate electrode and the composite channel layer. The source/drain contacts are disposed on the composite channel layer.
