Abstract:
Non-planar semiconductor devices having doped sub-fin regions and methods of fabricating non-planar semiconductor devices having doped sub-fin regions are described. For example, a method of fabricating a semiconductor structure involves forming a plurality of semiconductor fins above a semiconductor substrate. A solid state dopant source layer is formed above the semiconductor substrate, conformal with the plurality of semiconductor fins. A dielectric layer is formed above the solid state dopant source layer. The dielectric layer and the solid state dopant source layer are recessed to approximately a same level below a top surface of the plurality of semiconductor fins, exposing protruding portions of each of the plurality of semiconductor fins above sub-fin regions of each of the plurality of semiconductor fins. The method also involves driving dopants from the solid state dopant source layer into the sub-fin regions of each of the plurality of semiconductor fins.

Claim (Index 4):
The integrated circuit structure of  claim 1 , wherein the dielectric fill is further from the lower portion of the first fin than it is from the lower portion of the second fin.
