A special Ge nanowire/nanosheet (NW/NS) p-type vertical sandwich gate-all-around (GAA) field-effect transistor (FET) (Ge NW/NS pVSAFET) with self-aligned high-κ metal gates (HKMGs) is proposed. The Ge pVSAFETs were fabricated by high-quality GeSi/Ge epitaxy, an exclusively developed self-limiting isotropic quasi atomic layer etching (qALE) of Ge selective to both GeSi and the (111) plane, top-drain implantation, and ozone postoxidation (OPO) channel passivation. The Ge pVSAFETs, which have hourglass-shaped (111) channels with the smallest size range from 5 to 20 nm formed by qALE, have reached a record high of ∼291 μA/μm and exhibited good short channel effects (SCEs) control. The integration flow is compatible with mainstream CMOS processes, and Ge pVSAFETs with precise control of gate lengths/channel sizes were obtained.
