Abstract: Test structures for a body-contacted field effect transistor (BCFET) include: a single-pad structure with body contact and probe pad regions connected to a channel region at first and second connection points with a known separation distance between the connection points; and a multi-pad structure with a body contact region connected to a channel region at a first connection point and multiple probe pad regions connected to the channel region at second connection points that are separated from the first connection point by different separation distances. A method includes: determining separation distance-dependent internal body potentials at the second connection points in response to different bias conditions by using either multiple single-pad structures, each having a different separation distance between the connection points, or by using a multi-pad structure; and based on the separation distance-dependent internal body potentials, generating a model representing the BCFET with body-contacted and floating body devices.

Abstract: Structures including an edge coupler and methods of fabricating a structure including an edge coupler. The edge coupler includes a waveguide core having an end surface and a tapered section that terminates at the end surface. The tapered section of the waveguide core includes a slab layer and a ridge layer on the slab layer. The slab layer and the ridge layer each terminate at the end surface. The slab layer has a first width dimension with a first width at a given location along a longitudinal axis of the waveguide core, the ridge layer has a second width dimension with a second width at the given location along the longitudinal axis of the waveguide core, and the first width is greater than the second width.

Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure provide an input output (IO) structure in which complimentary nodes of a level shifter are utilized to logically block the output of the IO structure from switching until both power supplies to the IO structure are powered up. An illustrative level shifter includes: a cross-coupled pair of PFETs configured to output complimentary voltage values at a first node and a second node; a control circuit configured to select which of the complementary voltage values are output to the first node and second node; a logic inverter having an input coupled to the first node and an output coupled to a third node; and a NAND gate having inputs coupled to the second node and third node and that generates a level shifted output.
