Abstract: A semiconductor structure contains a bipolar transistor (101) and a spacing structure (265-1 or 265-2). The transistor has an emitter (241), a base (243), and a collector (245). The base is formed with an intrinsic base portion (243I), a base link portion (243L), and a base contact portion (245C). The intrinsic base portion is situated below the emitter and above material of the collector. The base link portion extends between the intrinsic base portion and the base contact portions. The spacing structure includes an isolating dielectric layer (267-1 or 267-2) and a spacing component. The dielectric layer extends along the upper semiconductor surface. The spacing component includes a lateral spacing portion (269-1 or 269-2) of largely non-monocrystalline semiconductor material, preferably polycrystalline semiconductor material, situated on the dielectric layer above the base link portion. Opposite first and second upper edges of the lateral spacing portion (275-1 and 277-1) laterally conform to opposite first and second lower edges (297-1 and 299-1) of the base link portion so as to determine, and thereby control, its length.

Abstract: A semiconductor structure, which serves as the core of a semiconductor fabrication platform, has a combination of empty-well regions and filled-well regions variously used by electronic elements, particularly insulated-gate field-effect transistors (“IGFETs”), to achieve desired electronic characteristics. A relatively small amount of semiconductor well dopant is near the top of an empty well. A considerable amount of semiconductor well dopant is near the top of a filled well. Some IGFETs (100, 102, 112, 114, 124, and 126) utilize empty wells (180, 182, 192, 194, 204, and 206) in achieving desired transistor characteristics. Other IGFETs (108, 110, 116, 118, 120, and 122) utilize filled wells (188, 190, 196, 198, 200, and 202) in achieving desired transistor characteristics. The combination of empty and filled wells enables the semiconductor fabrication platform to provide a wide variety of high-performance IGFETs from which circuit designers can select particular IGFETs for various analog and digital applications, including mixed-signal applications.

Abstract: An asymmetric insulated-gate field effect transistor (100U or 102U) provided along an upper surface of a semiconductor body contains first and second source/drain zones (240 and 242 or 280 and 282) laterally separated by a channel zone (244 or 284) of the transistor's body material. A gate electrode (262 or 302) overlies a gate dielectric layer (260 or 300) above the channel zone. A pocket portion (250 or 290) of the body material more heavily doped than laterally adjacent material of the body material extends along largely only the first of the S/D zones and into the channel zone. The vertical dopant profile of the pocket portion is tailored to reach a plurality of local maxima (316-1-316-3) at respective locations (PH-1-PH-3) spaced apart from one another. The tailoring is typically implemented so that the vertical dopant profile of the pocket portion is relatively flat near the upper semiconductor surface. As a result, the transistor has reduced leakage current.

Abstract: A gate electrode (302) of a field-effect transistor (102) is defined above, and vertically separated by a gate dielectric layer (300) from, a channel-zone portion (284) of body material of a semiconductor body. Semiconductor dopant is introduced into the body material to define a more heavily doped pocket portion (290) using the gate electrode as a dopant-blocking shield. A spacer (304T) having a dielectric portion situated along the gate electrode, a dielectric portion situated along the body, and a filler portion (SC) largely occupying the space between the other two spacer portions is provided. Semiconductor dopant is introduced into the body to define a pair of source/drain portions (280M and 282M) using the gate electrode and spacer as a dopant-blocking shield. The filler spacer portion is removed to convert the spacer to an L shape (304). Electrical contacts (310 and 312) are formed respectively to the source/drain portions.

Abstract: An asymmetric insulated-gate field-effect transistor (100) has a source (240) and a drain (242) laterally separated by a channel zone (244) of body material (180) of a semiconductor body. A gate electrode (262) overlies a gate dielectric layer (260) above the channel zone. A more heavily doped pocket portion (250) of the body material extends largely along only the source. Each of the source and drain has a main portion (240M or 242M) and a more lightly doped lateral extension (240E or 242E). The drain extension is more lightly doped than the source extension. The maximum concentration of the semiconductor dopant defining the two extensions occurs deeper in the drain extension than in the source extension. Additionally or alternatively, the drain extension extends further laterally below the gate electrode than the source extension. These features enable the threshold voltage to be highly stable with operational time.

Abstract: Insulated-gate field-effect transistors (“IGFETs”), both symmetric and asymmetric, suitable for a semiconductor fabrication platform that provides IGFETs for analog and digital applications, including mixed-signal applications, utilize empty-well regions in achieving high performance. A relatively small amount of semiconductor well dopant is near the top of each empty well. Each IGFET (100, 102, 112, 114, 124, or 126) has a pair of source/drain zones laterally separated by a channel zone of body material of the empty well (180, 182, 192, 194, 204, or 206). A gate electrode overlies a gate dielectric layer above the channel zone. Each source/drain zone (240, 242, 280, 282, 520, 522, 550, 552, 720, 722, 752, or 752) has a main portion (240M, 242M, 280M, 282M, 520M, 522M, 550M, 552M, 720M, 722M, 752M, or 752M) and a more lightly doped lateral extension (240E, 242E, 280E, 282E, 520E, 522E, 550E, 552E, 720E, 722E, 752E, or 752E). Alternatively or additionally, a more heavily doped pocket portion (250 or 290) of the body material extends along one of the source/drain zones. When present, the pocket portion typically causes the IGFET to be an asymmetric device.

Abstract translation: 对称和不对称的绝缘栅场效应晶体管（“IGFET”）适用于为模拟和数字应用（包括混合信号应用）提供IGFET的半导体制造平台，利用空井区域实现高性能。 相对少量的半导体阱掺杂剂在每个空的孔的顶部附近。 每个IGFET（100,102,112,114,124或126）具有由空井（180,182,192,194,204或206）的主体材料的通道区横向隔开的一对源/排出区 ）。 栅极电极覆盖在沟道区上方的栅极电介质层。 每个源/漏区（240,242,282,282,520,522,550,552,720,722,752或752）具有主要部分（240M，242M，280M，282M，520M，522M，550M， 552M，720M，722M，752M或752M）和更轻掺杂的侧向延伸部（240E，242E，280E，282E，520E，522E，550E，552E，720E，722E，752E或752E）。 替代地或另外地，主体材料的更加掺杂的凹穴部分（250或290）沿着源极/漏极区域中的一个延伸。 当存在时，口袋部分通常使IGFET成为非对称装置。
