    摘要: Disclosed herein is an arrangement of memory cells in which the spacing between back-to-back trench capacitors is defined at less than 1 F spacing. A pure phase edge mask is used to define such trench patterns having less than 1 F spacing. The reduction in the trench-to-trench spacing results in increased separation between the trench and the near edge of the gate conductor. This increase in the trench to gate conductor spacing, in turn, permits the channel doping concentration to be decreased, with a corresponding increase in ON current to be realized. In alternative embodiments, a pure phase edge mask or a blocked phase edge mask can be used to define trench patterns in which the width of trenches is increased to form storage capacitors having higher capacitance. In such embodiments, the spacing between back-to-back trenches can be reduced, such that the total separation between the outer edges of adjacent trenches is maintained at about 3 F or less.

    摘要: A semiconductor structure that includes a monocrystalline germanium-containing layer, preferably substantially pure germanium, a substrate, and a buried insulator layer separating the germanium-containing layer from the substrate. A porous layer, which may be porous silicon, is formed on a substrate and a germanium-containing layer is formed on the porous silicon layer. The porous layer may be converted to a layer of oxide, which provides the buried insulator layer. Alternatively, the germanium-containing layer may be transferred from the porous layer to an insulating layer on another substrate. After the transfer, the insulating layer is buried between the latter substrate and the germanium-containing layer.

    摘要: A well isolation trenches for a CMOS device and the method for forming the same. The CMOS device includes (a) a semiconductor substrate, (b) a P well and an N well in the semiconductor substrate, (c) a well isolation region sandwiched between and in direct physical contact with the P well and the N well. The P well comprises a first shallow trench isolation (STI) region, and the N well comprises a second STI region. A bottom surface of the well isolation region is at a lower level than bottom surfaces of the first and second STI regions. When going from top to bottom of the well isolation region, an area of a horizontal cross section of the well isolation region is an essentially continuous function.
