    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to semiconductor structures and, more particularly, to cell layouts in semiconductor structures and methods of manufacture. A structure includes: a plurality of abutting cells each of which include transistors with gate structures having diffusion regions; a contact spanning across abutting cells of the plurality of abutting cells and contacting to the diffusion regions of separate cells of the abutting cells; and a continuous active region spanning across the plurality of abutting cells, wherein the continuous active region includes a drain-source abutment with L-shape construct, a source-source abutment with U-shape construct, and a drain-drain abutment with a filler cell located between a drain-drain abutment.

    Abstract: Disclosed is threshold voltage (VT)-programmable field effect transistor (FET)-based memory cell including a first transistor and a second transistor (which has an electric-field based programmable VT) connected in series between two voltage source lines. The gates of the transistors are connected to different wordlines and a sense node is at the junction between the two transistors. In preferred embodiments, the first transistor is a PFET and the second transistor is an NFET. Different operating modes (e.g., write 0 or 1 and read) are achieved using specific combinations of voltage pulses on the wordlines and voltage source lines. The memory cell is non-volatile, exhibits relatively low leakage, and has a relatively small footprint as compared to a conventional memory cell. Also disclosed are a look-up table (LUT) incorporating multiple threshold voltage (VT)-programmable field effect transistor (FET)-based memory cells and associated methods.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to semiconductor structures and, more particularly, to self-aligned contacts and methods of manufacture. The structure includes: adjacent diffusion regions located within a substrate material; sidewall structures above an upper surface of the substrate material, aligned on sides of the adjacent diffusion regions; and a contact between the sidewall structures and extending to within the substrate material between and in electrical contact with the adjacent diffusion regions.

    Abstract: Waveguide structures and methods of fabricating a waveguide structure. The structure includes a first waveguide core, a second waveguide core, and a third waveguide core adjacent to the first waveguide core and the second waveguide core. The third waveguide core is laterally separated from the first waveguide core by a first slot, and the third waveguide core is laterally separated from the second waveguide core by a second slot. The first waveguide core and the second waveguide core comprise a first material, and the third waveguide core comprises a second material that is different in composition from the first material.

    Abstract: Structures including an electro-optical phase shifter and methods of fabricating a structure including an electro-optical phase shifter. The structure includes a waveguide core on a semiconductor substrate, and an interconnect structure over the waveguide core and the semiconductor substrate. The waveguide core includes a phase shifter, and the interconnect structure includes a slotted shield and a transmission line coupled to the phase shifter. The slotted shield includes segments that are separated by slots. The slotted shield is positioned between the transmission line and the substrate.
