    摘要: Disclosed are embodiments of a trigate field effect transistor that comprises a fin-shaped semiconductor body with a channel region and source/drain regions on either side of the channel region. Thick gate dielectric layers separate the top surface and opposing sidewalls of the channel region from the gate conductor in order to suppress conductivity in the channel planes. A thin gate dielectric layer separates the upper corners of the channel region from the gate conductor in order to optimize conductivity in the channel corners. To further emphasize the current flow in the channel corners, the source/drain regions can be formed in the upper corners of the semiconductor body alone. Alternatively, source/drain extension regions can be formed only in the upper corners of the semiconductor body adjacent to the gate conductor and deep source/drain diffusion regions can be formed in the ends of the semiconductor body.

    摘要: Disclosed are embodiments of an improved on-chip temperature sensing circuit, based on bolometry, which provides self calibration of the on-chip temperature sensors for ideality and an associated method of sensing temperature at a specific on-chip location. The circuit comprises a temperature sensor, an identical reference sensor with a thermally coupled heater and a comparator. The comparator is adapted to receive and compare the outputs from both the temperature and reference sensors and to drive the heater with current until the outputs match. Based on the current forced into the heater, the temperature rise of the reference sensor can be calculated, which in this state, is equal to that of the temperature sensor.

    摘要: Disclosed is semiconductor structure that incorporates a field shield below a semiconductor device (e.g., a field effect transistor (FET) or a diode). The field shield is sandwiched between upper and lower isolation layers on a wafer. A local interconnect extends through the upper isolation layer and connects the field shield to a selected doped semiconductor region of the device (e.g., a source/drain region of a FET or a cathode or anode of a diode). Current that passes into the device, for example, during back-end of the line charging, is shunted by the local interconnect away from the upper isolation layer and down into the field shield. Consequently, an electric charge is not allowed to build up in the upper isolation layer but rather bleeds from the field shield into the lower isolation layer and into the substrate below. This field shield further provides a protective barrier against any electric charge that becomes trapped within the lower isolation layer or substrate.

These fins have a central channel region and source and drain regions on opposite sides of the channel region. The thicker gate dielectrics can comprise multiple layers of dielectric and the thinner gate dielectrics can comprise less layers of dielectric. A cap comprising a different material than the gate dielectrics can be positioned over the fins.
