Patent attributes
A semiconductor nanosheet device including semiconductor channel layers vertically aligned and stacked one on top of another, separated by a work function metal, and a second layer between two first layers, the second layer and two first layers between the semiconductor channel layers and a substrate. A semiconductor device including a lower first layer, a second layer, and a source drain region between a first set of semiconductor channel layers vertically aligned and stacked one on top of another, and a second set of semiconductor channel layers. A method including forming a stack sacrificial layer, a stack of nanosheet layers, forming a cavity by removing the stack sacrificial layer, and simultaneously forming a first layer on an upper surface of the stack sacrificial layer, on vertical side surfaces of the set of sacrificial gates, and an upper first layer and a lower first layer in a portion of the cavity.
