摘要:
Disclosed is semiconductor structure with an insulator layer on a semiconductor substrate and a device layer is on the insulator layer. The substrate is doped with a relatively low dose of a dopant having a given conductivity type such that it has a relatively high resistivity. Additionally, a portion of the semiconductor substrate immediately adjacent to the insulator layer can be doped with a slightly higher dose of the same dopant, a different dopant having the same conductivity type or a combination thereof. Optionally, micro-cavities are created within this same portion so as to balance out any increase in conductivity with a corresponding increase in resistivity. Increasing the dopant concentration at the semiconductor substrate-insulator layer interface raises the threshold voltage (Vt) of any resulting parasitic capacitors and, thereby reduces harmonic behavior. Also disclosed herein are embodiments of a method and a design structure for such a semiconductor structure.

摘要:
Disclosed are embodiments of an improved integrated circuit switching device that incorporates multiple sets of series connected field effect transistors with each set further connected in parallel between two nodes. The sets are arranged in a linear fashion with each set positioned such that it is in contact with and essentially symmetrical relative to an adjacent set. Arranging the sets in this manner allows adjacent diffusion regions of the same type (i.e., sources or drains) from adjacent sets to be merged. Merging of the diffusion regions provides several benefits, including but not limited to, reducing the device size, reducing the amount of required wiring for the device (i.e., reducing resistance) and reducing side capacitance between the now merged diffusion regions and the substrate. Also disclosed are embodiments of an associated design structure for the device and an associated method of forming the device.
摘要:
A fastener for a connector in an electrical coupling including a threaded bolt, a keeper member and a biasing member. The keeper member having a base and a distal member spaced apart from each other and a collapsible portion coupling the base and the distal member to each other in electrical communication. The second end of the threaded bolt extends to the base and is in electrical communication therewith. The distal member has a conductor contact surface. The biasing member includes an inner washer, an outer washer, and a Belleville washer positioned therebetween. The biasing member is insertable between the base and the distal member so that the inner washer is positioned between the base and the Belleville washer and the outer washer is positioned between the Belleville washer and the distal member. The collapsible portion provides an electrical shunt around the biasing member.
