    摘要: A semiconductor device with improved transistor operating and flicker noise characteristics includes a substrate, an analog NMOS transistor and a compressively-strained-channel analog PMOS transistor disposed on the substrate. The device also includes a first etch stop liner (ESL) and a second ESL which respectively cover the NMOS transistor and the PMOS transistor. The relative measurement of flicker noise power of the NMOS and PMOS transistors to flicker noise power of reference unstrained-channel analog NMOS and PMOS transistors at a frequency of 500 Hz is less than 1.

    摘要: Provided is a method of monitoring link performance and diagnosing an active link state without interrupting traffic in an Ethernet passive optical network (EPON) while the link is in the active state. The method of monitoring link performance and diagnosing an active link state without interrupting data flow to logic links which are in active states in the EPON, includes: a) allowing an operator of the EPON to select a link performance monitoring function or a link active state diagnosing function; b-1) if the link performance monitoring function is selected, setting a monitoring cycle timer and periodically transmitting a performance information request frame from a local node to a remote node; b-2) if the remote node receives the performance information request frame, collecting corresponding link performance information and transmitting a response frame from the remote node to the local node in a format which is predetermined in accordance with a corresponding frame format; b-3) if the local node receives the response frame from the remote node, analyzing the performance information of the response frame and determining whether the link performance has deteriorated or if a failure has occurred in the local node; b-4) if the deterioration of the link function or the degree of the failure reaches a predetermined threshold, reporting to an upper layer that a failure has occurred.

    摘要: Methods of fabricating a semiconductor device using a selective epitaxial growth technique include forming a recess in a semiconductor substrate. The substrate having the recess is loaded into a reaction chamber. A semiconductor source gas and a main etching gas are injected into the reaction chamber to selectively grow an epitaxial semiconductor layer on a sidewall and on a bottom surface of the recess. A selective etching gas is injected into the reaction chamber to selectively etch a fence of the epitaxial semiconductor layer which is adjacent to the sidewall of the recess and grown to a level that is higher than an upper surface of the semiconductor substrate.

    摘要: Methods of fabricating a MOS transistor having a fully silicided metal gate electrode are provided. The method includes forming an isolation layer in a predetermined region of a semiconductor substrate to define an active region. An insulated gate pattern which crosses over the active region is formed. A spacer is formed on sidewalls of the gate pattern. A selective epitaxial growth process is applied to form semiconductor layers on the gate pattern and on the active region at both sides of the gate pattern. In this case, a poly-crystalline semiconductor layer is formed on the gate pattern while single-crystalline semiconductor layers are concurrently formed on the active region at both sides of the gate pattern. The semiconductor layers are selectively etched to form a gate-reduced pattern and elevated source and drain regions. Respective desired thicknesses of the gate-reduced pattern and the elevated source and drain regions may be obtained using an etch selectivity between the poly-crystalline semiconductor layer and the single-crystalline semiconductor layer. A silicidation process is applied to the semiconductor substrate where the gate-reduced pattern is formed to simultaneously form a fully silicided metal gate electrode and elevated source and drain silicide layers.
