Abstract:
An integrated circuit transistor is formed on and in a substrate. A trench in the substrate is at least partially filed with a metal material to form a source (or drain) contact buried in the substrate. The substrate further includes a source (or drain) region epitaxially grown above the source (or drain) contact. The substrate further includes a channel region adjacent to the source (or drain) region. A gate dielectric is provided on top of the channel region and a gate electrode is provided on top of the gate dielectric. The substrate is preferably of the silicon on insulator (SOI) type.

Abstract:
Various embodiments facilitate die protection for an integrated circuit. In one embodiment, a multilayer structure is formed in multiple levels and along the edges of a die to prevent and detect damages to the die. The multilayer structure includes a support layer, a first plurality of dielectric pillars overlying the support layer, a metal layer that fills spaces between the first plurality of dielectric pillars, an insulation layer overlying the first plurality of dielectric pillars and the metal layer, a second plurality of dielectric pillars overlying the insulation layer, and a second metal layer that fills spaces between the second plurality of dielectric pillars.

Abstract:
An integrated circuit includes a substrate supporting a transistor having a source region and a drain region. A high dopant concentration delta-doped layer is present on the source region and drain region of the transistor. A set of contacts extend through a pre-metal dielectric layer covering the transistor. A silicide region is provided at a bottom of the set of contacts. The silicide region is formed by a salicidation reaction between a metal present at the bottom of the contact and the high dopant concentration delta-doped layer on the source region and drain region of the transistor.
