    摘要: Disclosed is a semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) structure having sub-insulator layer void(s) selectively placed in a substrate so that capacitance coupling between a first section of a semiconductor layer and the substrate will be less than capacitance coupling between a second section of the semiconductor layer and the substrate. The first section may contain a first device on an insulator layer and the second section may contain a second device on the insulator layer. Alternatively, the first and second sections may comprise different regions of the same device on an insulator layer. For example, in an SOI field effect transistor (FET), sub-insulator layer voids can be selectively placed in the substrate below the source, drain and/or body contact diffusion regions, but not below the channel region so that capacitance coupling between the these various diffusion regions and the substrate will be less than capacitance coupling between the channel region and the substrate. Also, disclosed is an associated method of forming such an SOI structure.

    摘要: A complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) optical sensor structure comprises a pixel containing a charge collection well of a same semiconductor material as a semiconductor layer in a semiconductor substrate and at least another pixel containing another charge collection well of a different semiconductor material than the material of the semiconductor layer. The charge collections wells have different band gaps, and consequently, generate charge carriers in response to light having different wavelengths. The CMOS sensor structure thus includes at least two pixels responding to light of different wavelengths, enabling wavelength-sensitive, or color-sensitive, capture of an optical data. Further, a design structure for the inventive complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor is also provided.

    摘要: Disclosed are embodiments of a method of forming, on an SOI wafer, a planar FET with embedded and faceted source/drain stressors. The method incorporates a directional ion implant process to create amorphous regions at the bottom surfaces of source/drain recesses in a single crystalline semiconductor layer of an SOI wafer. Then, an etch process selective to different crystalline planes over others and further selective to single crystalline semiconductor material over amorphous semiconductor material can be performed in order to selectively adjust the shape (i.e., the profile) of the recess sidewalls without increasing the depth of the recesses. Subsequently, an anneal process can be performed to re-crystallize the amorphous regions and an epitaxial deposition process can be used to fill the recesses with source/drain stressor material. Also disclosed are embodiments of a planar FET structure and a design structure for the planar FET.

    摘要: A memory cell in an integrated circuit is fabricated in part by forming a lower electrode feature, an island, a sacrificial feature, a gate feature, and a phase change feature. The island is formed on the lower electrode feature and has one or more sidewalls. It comprises a lower doped feature, a middle doped feature formed above the lower doped feature, and an upper doped feature formed above the middle doped feature. The sacrificial feature is formed above the island, while the gate feature is formed along each sidewall of the island. The gate feature overlies at least a portion of the middle doped feature of the island and is operative to control an electrical resistance therein. Finally, the phase feature is formed above the island at least in part by replacing at least a portion of the sacrificial feature with a phase change material. The phase change material is operative to switch between lower and higher electrical resistance states in response to an application of an electrical signal.
