METHOD FOR PRODUCING A MICROELECTRONIC DEVICE COMPRISING A WRAPPING GRID
A method for producing a device comprising GAA transistors. Advantageously, the channels of the transistors are produced by deposition of a semiconductor material, preferably a 2D material, after successive removal of certain layers of the initial stack. The gates-all-around are produced after selective removal of the other layers from the initial stack. The initial stack does not comprise the semiconductor material, nor the material of the gates. The subsequent deposition of the semiconductor material aims to better preserve the semiconductor material.
