    摘要: Embodiments in accordance with the present invention provide methods of forming a dual gated semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) device. Such methods encompass forming a first transistor structure operatively adjacent a first side of the semiconductor layer of an SOI substrate. Insulator layer material is removed from the second side of the semiconductor layer, between the source/drain contact structures of the first transistor structure and a second transistor structure there formed operatively adjacent the second side of the semiconductor layer and aligned to the first transistor structure.

    摘要: This invention relates to the field of semiconductor integrated circuits and, particularly to stand-alone and embedded memory chips fabricated on Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) substrates and devices. Partially depleted (PD) and fully depleted (FD) devices are utilized on the same chip. The invention is a process flow utilizing fully depleted SOI devices in one area of the chip and partially depleted SOI devices in selected other areas of the chip. The choice of fully depleted or partially depleted is solely determined by the circuit application in that specific area of the chip. The invention is able to be utilized in accordance with DRAM processing, and especially embedded DRAMs with their large proportion of associated logic circuitry.

    摘要: A double blanket ion implant method for forming diffusion regions in memory array devices, such as a MOSFET access device is disclosed. The method provides a semiconductor substrate with a gate structure formed on its surface Next, a first pair of diffusion regions are formed in a region adjacent to the channel region by a first blanket ion implantation process. The first blanket ion implantation process has a first energy level and dose. The device is subjected to oxidizing conditions, which form oxidized sidewalls on the gate structure. A second blanket ion implantation process is conducted at the same location as the first ion implantation process adding additional dopant to the diffusion regions. The second blanket ion implantation process has a second energy level and dose. The resultant diffusion regions provide the device with improved static refresh performance over prior art devices. In addition, the first and second energy levels and doses are substantially lower than an energy level and dose used in a prior art single implantation process.
