Integrating standard-gate and extended-gate nanosheet transistors on the same substrate
Embodiments of the invention are directed to fabrication operations for co-integrating standard-gate (SG) and extended-gate (EG) nanosheet/nanowire transistors on the same substrate. The SG and EG nanosheet/nanowire transistors share certain fabrication operations for certain features. For example, the processes to form the bottommost channel nanosheet, the bottommost sacrificial nanosheet, and the topmost channel nanosheet are the same for SG nanosheet transistors and the EG nanosheet transistors. Because the thickness of the sacrificial nanosheet needs to be thicker for EG nanosheet transistors, a thickness of the bottommost sacrificial nanosheet is selected to accommodate the design parameters of the EG nanosheet transistor. Because the thickness of the SG and the EG channel nanosheets do not need to be different, a thickness of the bottommost channel nanosheet and the topmost channel nanosheet can be selected to accommodate the design parameters of both the SG and the EG nanosheet transistors.
