Abstract:
A structure and method of forming a body contact for a semiconductor-on-insulator trench device. The method including: forming set of mandrels on a top surface of a substrate, each mandrel of the set of mandrels arranged on a different corner of a polygon and extending above the top surface of the substrate, a number of mandrels in the set of mandrels equal to a number of corners of the polygon; forming sidewall spacers on sidewalls of each mandrel of the set of mandrels, sidewalls spacers of each adjacent pair of mandrels merging with each other and forming a unbroken wall defining an opening in an interior region of the polygon, a region of the substrate exposed in the opening; etching a contact trench in the substrate in the opening; and filling the contact trench with an electrically conductive material to form the contact.
Abstract:
An integrated circuit is provided which includes a memory having multiple ports per memory cell for accessing a data bit within each of a plurality of the memory cells. Such memory includes an array of memory cells in which each memory cell includes a plurality of capacitors (102) connected together as a unitary source of capacitance. A first access transistor (104) is coupled between a first one of the plurality of capacitors and a first bitline and a second access transistor (106) is coupled between a second one of the plurality of capacitors and a second bitline. In each memory cell, a gate of the first access transistor is connected to a first wordline and a gate of the second access transistor is connected to a second wordline.
