    摘要: A method to create a polysilicon layer with large grains and uniform grain density is described. A first amorphous silicon layer is formed. A crystallizing agent is selectively introduced in a substantially symmetric pattern, preferably symmetric in two dimensions, across an area of the first amorphous layer. The crystallizing agent may be, for example, silicon nuclei, germanium, or laser energy. A mask layer is formed on the amorphous silicon layer, and holes etched in the mask layer in a symmetric pattern to expose the amorphous layer to, for example, silicon nuclei or germanium) only in the holes. The mask layer is removed and a second amorphous layer formed on the first. If laser energy is used, no mask layer or second amorphous layer is generally used. The wafer is annealed to form a polysilicon layer with substantially no amorphous silicon remaining between the grains.

    摘要: An integrated circuit and associated method of programming are provided. Such integrated circuit includes a memory cell with a diode and an antifuse in communication with the diode. The antifuse is constructed to include a high-K dielectric material with a K greater than 3.9. Further, the memory cell is programmed utilizing a programming pulse that reverse biases the diode thereof.

    摘要: A die is formed with different and optimized critical dimensions in different device levels and areas of those device levels using photolithography and etch techniques. One aspect of the invention provides for a memory array formed above a substrate, with driver circuitry formed in the substrate. A level of the memory array consists of, for example, parallel rails and a fan-out region. It is desirable to maximize density of the rails and minimize cost of lithography for the entire memory array. This can be achieved by forming the rails at a tighter pitch than the CMOS circuitry beneath it, allowing cheaper lithography tools to be used when forming the CMOS, and similarly by optimizing lithography and etch techniques for a device level to produce a tight pitch in the rails, and a more relaxed pitch in the less-critical fan-out region.

    摘要: A spark plug is disclosed having at least one main electrode and at least one secondary electrode. The gaps associated with the secondary electrodes are between one third and two thirds the optimum gap distance. Resistors associated with the secondary electrodes control the current flow and therefore the voltage on the electrodes.
