Abstract:
The continuous conduction mode (CCM) boost voltage power factor correction apparatus with an average-current control mode of the present invention uses resettable integrators to integrate the difference voltage signal outputted from the voltage error amplifier and the input current signal obtained from detection. The integration results are then compared to control the duty cycle of the switch. Thereby, the input current and the input voltage in the AC/DC electrical power converter have a proportion relation and their phases are the same as each other. The components used in this control method are simpler than the PFC circuit of the prior art. It is easy to integrate in one chip with fewer pins. The apparatus of the present invention has a high power factor and a low total harmonic distortion (THD).

Abstract:
A method of reducing the aspect ratio for dry etch processes used to form contact hole and storage node openings in composite insulator layers, to expose regions of CMOS devices used for embedded memory cell applications, has been developed. The method features formation of CMOS devices for an embedded memory cell in a recessed region of a semiconductor substrate, while peripheral, higher performing CMOS devices are formed on a non-recessed, SOI layer. Removal of a top portion of a first planarized insulator layer, only in the embedded memory cell region, allows reduction of the aspect ratio of a storage node opening formed in the bottom portion of the first planarized insulator layer. Formation of an overlying, second planarized insulator layer results in a composite insulator layer comprised of a thinned, second planarized insulator layer on the underlying first planarized insulator layer, in the peripheral CMOS device region. The thinned, second planarized insulator component of the composite insulator layer allows reduction of the aspect ratio for formation of a contact hole now defined in the composite insulator layer.
Abstract:
A method for forming FET devices with attenuated gate induced drain leakage current. There is provided a silicon semiconductor substrate employed within a microelectronics fabrication. There is formed within the silicon substrate field oxide (FOX) dielectric isolation regions defining an active silicon substrate device area. There is formed over the substrate a silicon oxide gate oxide insulation layer employing thermal oxidation. There is then formed over the silicon oxide gate oxide insulation layer a patterned polycrystalline silicon gate electrode layer. There is then thermally oxidized the substrate and polycrystalline silicon gate electrode to form a thicker silicon oxide layer at the edge of the gate electrode and in the adjacent silicon substrate area. There is then etched back the thicker silicon oxide layer from the silicon substrate area adjacent to the gate electrode. There is then formed employing low energy ion implantation shallow junction source-drain extension regions adjacent to the gate electrode. There is then formed source-drain regions to complete the FET device, which exhibits attenuated drain leakage current. The present invention may be employed to fabricate complementary metal-oxide-silicon (CMOS) FET devices of either polarity with attenuated gate induced drain leakage (GIDL) current, short channel effect (SCE) and punch-through leakage current in integrated circuit microelectronics fabrications wherein low power drain is desired.

Abstract:
A method of forming a metal gate for a CMOS device using a replacement gate process wherein sidewall spacers are formed on a dummy electrode prior to forming the metal gate allowing source and drain formation prior to metal gate formation and a tungsten layer is selectively deposited to act as an each or CMP stop and to reduce source and drain resistance. The process begins by forming a dummy gate oxide layer and a polysilicon dummy gate electrode layer on a substrate structure and patterning them to form a dummy gate. Lightly doped source and drain regions are formed by ion implantation using the dummy gate as an implant mask. Spacers are formed on the sidewalls of the dummy gate. Source and drain regions are formed by implanting ions using,the dummy gate and spacers as an implant mask and performing a rapid thermal anneal. A tungsten layer is selectively deposited on the dummy gate electrode and the source and drain regions. A blanket dielectric layer is formed over the dummy gate and the substrate structure. The blanket dielectric layer is planarized using a chemical mechanical polishing process stopping on the tungsten layer. The tungsten layer overlying the dummy gate and the dummy gate are removed, thereby forming a gate opening. A gate oxide layer and a metal gate electrode layer are formed in the gate opening. The gate electrode layer is planarized to form a metal gate, stopping on the blanket dielectric layer. Alternatively, the dummy gate electrode can be composed of silicon nitride and the selectively deposited tungsten layer can be omitted.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a method of fabricating self-aligned cylindrical capacitor in stack Dynamic Random Access Memory (Stack DRAM) cells. The polysilicon stud is filled in the contact window of the source region of a metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET). Then the polysilicon spacers are formed on the sidewalls of the first polysilicon stud. The cylindrical capacitor storage node of the DRAM capacitor of the present invention has much greater surface area so as to increase the capacitance value of the DRAM capacitor, that can achieve high packing density of the integrated circuit devices. Furthermore, this new process only needs one lithography photomask to open contact window compared with the conventional process which needs two lithography photomasks, that further reduces the production cost.
