Method for fabricating nanowires for horizontal gate all around devices for semiconductor applications

摘要

The present disclosure provide methods for forming nanowire structures with desired materials horizontal gate-all-around (hGAA) structures field effect transistor (FET) for semiconductor chips. In one example, a method of forming nanowire structures on a substrate includes supplying an oxygen containing gas mixture to a multi-material layer on a substrate in a processing chamber, wherein the multi-material layer includes repeating pairs of a first layer and a second layer, the first and the second layers having a first group and a second group of sidewalls respectively exposed through openings defined in the multi-material layer, and selectively forming an oxidation layer on the second group of sidewalls in the second layer.

1. A method of forming nanowire structures on a substrate comprising:
supplying an oxygen containing gas mixture to a multi-material layer on a substrate in a processing chamber, wherein the multi-material layer includes repeating pairs of a first layer and a second layer, the first and the second layers having a first group and a second group of sidewalls respectively exposed through openings defined in the multi-material layer; selectively forming an oxidation layer on the second group of sidewalls in the second layer; and forming horizontal gate-all-around (hGAA) structures using the openings defined in the multi-material layer.
