Method of fabrication of a semiconductor device including one or more nanostructures

Abstract:

A method of fabrication of a semiconductor device including implementation of fabrication of at least one stack made on a substrate, including at least one first portion of a first semiconductor and at least one second portion of a second semiconductor which is different from the first semiconductor, so the thickness of at least the first portion is substantially equal to the thickness of at least one nanostructure, and wherein the first or second semiconductor is capable of being selectively etched relative to the second or first semiconductor, respectively, fabrication, on a part of the stack, of external spacers and at least one dummy gate, etching of the stack such that the remaining parts of the first and second portions are arranged beneath the dummy gate and beneath the external spacers and form a stack of nanowires, after the etching of the stack, thermal treatment of the stack of nanowires.
