    摘要: Disclosed is a semiconductor structure that incorporates a capacitor for reducing the soft error rate of a device within the structure. The multi-layer semiconductor structure includes an insulator-filled deep trench isolation structure that is formed through an active silicon layer, a first insulator layer, and a first bulk layer and extends to a second insulator layer. The resulting isolated portion of the first bulk layer defines the first capacitor plate. A portion of the second insulator layer that is adjacent the first capacitor plate functions as the capacitor dielectric. Either the silicon substrate or a portion of a second bulk layer that is isolated by a third insulator layer and another deep trench isolation structure can function as the second capacitor plate. A first capacitor contact couples, either directly or via a wire array, the first capacitor plate to a circuit node of the device in order to increase the critical charge, Qcrit, of the circuit node.

    摘要: An array of radiation sensors or detectors is integrated within a three-dimensional semiconductor IC. The sensor array is located relatively close to the device layer of a circuit (e.g., a microprocessor) to be protected from the adverse effects of the ionizing radiation particles. As such, the location where the radiation particles intersect the device layer can be calculated with coarse precision (e.g., to within 10 s of microns).

    摘要: A deep trench containing a doped semiconductor fill portion having a first conductivity type doping and surrounded by a buried plate layer having a second conductivity type doping at a lower portion is formed in a semiconductor layer having a doping of the first conductivity type. A doped well of the second conductivity type abutting the buried plate layer is formed. The doped semiconductor fill portion functions as a temporary reservoir for electrical charges of the first conductivity type that are generated by a radiation particle, and the buried plate layer functions as a temporary reservoir for electrical charges of the second conductivity type. The buried plate layer and the doped semiconductor fill portion forms a capacitor, and provides protection from soft errors to devices formed in the semiconductor layer or the doped well.
