3D UTB transistor using 2D-material channels

摘要

A semiconductor device and a method of manufacture are provided. A substrate has a dielectric layer formed thereon. A three-dimensional feature, such as a trench or a fin, is formed in the dielectric layer. A two-dimensional layer, such as a layer (or multilayer) of graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), or boron nitride (BN), is formed over sidewalls of the feature. The two-dimensional layer may also extend along horizontal surfaces, such as along a bottom of the trench or along horizontal surfaces of the dielectric layer extending away from the three-dimensional feature. A gate dielectric layer is formed over the two-dimensional layer and a gate electrode is formed over the gate dielectric layer. Source/drain contacts are electrically coupled to the two-dimensional layer on opposing sides of the gate electrode.
