    摘要: A method and structure for selectively growing epitaxial silicon in a trench formed within a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) structure. The SOI structure includes a buried oxide layer (BOX) on a bulk silicon substrate, and a silicon layer on the BOX. A pad layer is formed on the silicon layer. The pad layer includes a pad nitride (e.g., silicon nitride) on a pad oxide (e.g., silicon dioxide), and the pad oxide has been formed on the silicon layer. A trench is formed by anisotropically etching through the pad layer, the silicon layer, the BOX, and to a depth within the bulk silicon substrate. Insulative spacers are formed on sidewalls of the trench. An epitaxial silicon layer is grown in the trench from a bottom of the trench to above the pad layer. The pad layer and portions of the epitaxial layer are removed (e.g., by chemical mechanical polishing), resulting in a planarized top surface of the epitaxial layer that is about coplanar with a top surface of the silicon layer. Electronic devices may be formed within the epitaxial silicon of the trench. Such electronic devices may include dynamic random access memory (DRAM), bipolar transistors, Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) circuits which are sensitive to floating body effects, and devices requiring threshold voltage matching. Semiconductor devices (e.g., field effect transistors) may be coupled to the SOI structure outside the trench.

    摘要: A method and structure for a semiconductor device which includes a substrate comprising trenches, a plurality of devices on the substrate isolated by the trenches, conductive sidewall spacers within the trenches, and an insulator filling the trenches between the conductive sidewall spacers. A first conductive sidewall spacer is electrically connected to a first device of said plurality of devices and a second conductive sidewall spacer is electrically connected to a second device of the plurality of devices. The first device can be biased independently of the second device. A contact extends above a surface of the substrate. A first contact abuts a first device and a first conductive sidewall spacer. An insulator separates the conductive sidewall spacers. A first contact may be equidistant between the first conductor and the second conductor. The conductive sidewall spacers comprise field shields.

    摘要: A first, “known good” reference off-chip driver circuit actuated by an initial logic program (IPL) input signal has an output lead connected as one of the inputs to a comparator circuit for providing a reference off-chip driver output signal. A second off-chip driver circuit including a plurality of “n” separate driver circuit paths connected to input signal and produces output signals connected to a common node to provide output driver signals to the common node. The common node is connected to the second input of the comparator circuit for comparison with the reference off-chip driver output signal from the first off-chip driver circuit to determine the operating state of the second off-chip driver circuit with respect to the operating state of the first off-chip driver circuit.
