Extra gate device for nanosheet

摘要

A method for forming semiconductor devices includes forming a highly doped region. A stack of alternating layers is formed on the substrate. The stack is patterned to form nanosheet structures. A dummy gate structure is formed over and between the nanosheet structures. An interlevel dielectric layer is formed. The dummy gate structures are removed. SG regions are blocked, and top sheets are removed from the nanosheet structures along the dummy gate trench. A bottommost sheet is released and forms a channel for a field effect transistor device by etching away the highly doped region under the nanosheet structure and layers in contact with the bottommost sheet. A gate structure is formed in and over the dummy gate trench wherein the bottommost sheet forms a device channel for the EG device.

1. A method for forming semiconductor devices, comprising:
doping a surface of a substrate in exposed areas where extra gate (EG) devices are to be formed to form a highly doped region; forming a stack of alternating layers on the substrate over single gate (SG) regions and the EG regions; patterning the stack to form nanosheet structures; forming a dummy gate structure over and between the nanosheet structures; forming an interlevel dielectric layer over the dummy gate structure and the nanosheet structures; removing dummy gate structures to form a dummy gate trench; blocking the SG regions; removing top sheets from the nanosheet structures along the dummy gate trench; releasing at least one bottommost sheet including a semiconductor layer to form a channel for a field effect transistor device by etching away the highly doped region under the nanosheet structure and layers in contact with the at least one bottom most sheet; and forming a gate structure in and over the dummy gate trench wherein the at least one bottommost sheet forms a device channel for the EG device.
