摘要:
An electrical stimulation and monitoring device comprises several signal paths which are connected in parallel with each other, and each containing a stimulation or sensing electrode (25, 35), a DC-blocking capacitor and a stimulation or sensing channel (26, 36). A semiconductor substrate (100) used for hosting the DC-blocking capacitors is connected electrically to a DC voltage source (2) through a substrate holding capacitor. Such substrate holding capacitor reduces a blanking time between stimulation and sensing periods, and also reduces cross-couplings between different ones of the signal paths while all the DC-blocking capacitors are provided on one and same semiconductor substrate.

Apparatuses, systems, and methods for ion traps are described herein. One apparatus includes a number of microwave (MW) rails (110) and a number of radio frequency (RF) rails (108) formed with substantially parallel longitudinal axes and with substantially coplanar upper surfaces. The apparatus includes two sequences of direct current (DC) electrodes (106) with each sequence formed to extend substantially parallel to the substantially parallel longitudinal axes of the MW rails (110) and the RF rails (108). The apparatus further includes a number of through-silicon vias (TSVs) (115) formed through a substrate (105) of the ion trap (100) to provide an electrical potential to DC electrodes (106) and a trench capacitor (116) formed in the substrate (105) around at least one TSV (115).
摘要:
A semiconductor device is formed by forming a deep trench in a substrate and a dielectric liner on sidewalls of the deep trench. A first undoped polysilicon layer is formed on the semiconductor device, extending into the deep trench on the dielectric liner, but not filling the deep trench. Dopants are implanted into the first polysilicon layer. A second layer of polysilicon is formed on the first layer of polysilicon. A thermal drive anneal activates and diffuses the dopants. In one version, the dielectric liner is removed at the bottom of the deep trench before the first polysilicon layer is formed, so that the polysilicon in the deep trench provides a contact to the substrate. In another version, the polysilicon in the deep trench is isolated from the substrate by the dielectric liner.

A Device (101, 201, 301) for ion trapping is described herein. One device (101, 201, 301) includes a through-silicon via (TSV) (302, 602) and a trench capacitor (304, 604) formed around the TSV (302, 602).
摘要:
A semiconductor substrate can be patterned to define a trench and a feature. In an embodiment, the trench can be formed such that after filling the trench with a material, a bottom portion of the filled trench may be exposed during a substrate thinning operation. In another embodiment, the trench can be filled with a thermal oxide. The feature can have a shape that reduces the likelihood that a distance between the feature and a wall of the trench will be changed during subsequent processing. A structure can be at least partly formed within the trench, wherein the structure can have a relatively large area by taking advantage of the depth of the trench. The structure can be useful for making electronic components, such as passive components and through-substrate vias. The process sequence to define the trenches and form the structures can be tailored for many different process flows.
