Gate-all around semiconductor nanowire FET's on bulk semicoductor wafers

摘要

Non-planar semiconductor devices are provided that include at least one semiconductor nanowire suspended above a semiconductor oxide layer that is present on a first portion of a bulk semiconductor substrate. An end segment of the at least one semiconductor nanowire is attached to a first semiconductor pad region and another end segment of the at least one semiconductor nanowire is attached to a second semiconductor pad region. The first and second pad regions are located above and are in direct contact with a second portion of the bulk semiconductor substrate which is vertically offsets from the first portion. The structure further includes a gate surrounding a central portion of the at least one semiconductor nanowire, a source region located on a first side of the gate, and a drain region located on a second side of the gate which is opposite the first side of the gate.
