Abstract: Methods of forming structures with electrical isolation. A dielectric layer is formed over a semiconductor substrate, openings are patterned in the dielectric layer that extend to the semiconductor substrate, and a semiconductor material is epitaxially grown from portions of the semiconductor substrate that are respectively exposed inside the openings. The semiconductor material, during growth, defines a semiconductor layer that includes first portions respectively coincident with the openings and second portions that laterally grow from the first portions to merge over a top surface of the dielectric layer. A modified layer containing a trap-rich semiconductor material is formed in the semiconductor substrate.

Abstract: Disclosed are semiconductor structure embodiments of a semiconductor-on-insulator region on a bulk substrate. The semiconductor-on-insulator region includes an upper semiconductor layer above and physically separated from the substrate by insulator-containing cavities (e.g., by dielectric layer and/or a pocket of trapped air, of trapped gas, or under vacuum) and, optionally, by a lower semiconductor layer. Disclosed method embodiments include forming openings that extend vertically through the upper semiconductor layer, through a sacrificial semiconductor layer and, optionally, through a lower semiconductor layer to the substrate. Then, a selective isotropic etch process is performed to form cavities, which extend laterally off the sides of the openings into the sacrificial semiconductor layer. Depending upon the embodiments, different process steps are further performed to form plugs in at least the upper portions of the openings and insulators (including dielectric layers and/or a pocket of trapped air, of trapped gas or under vacuum) in the cavities.

Abstract: Disclosed is a semiconductor structure with a lateral bipolar junction transistor (BJT). This semiconductor structure can be readily integrated into advanced silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology platforms. Furthermore, to maintain or improve upon performance characteristics (e.g., cut-off frequency (fT)/maximum oscillation frequency (fmax) and beta cut-off frequency) that would otherwise be negatively impacted due to changing of the orientation of the BJT from vertical to lateral, the semiconductor structure can further include a dielectric stress layer (e.g., a tensilely strained layer in the case of an NPN-type transistor or a compressively strained layer in the case of a PNP-type transistor) partially covering the lateral BJT for charge carrier mobility enhancement and the lateral BJT can be configured as a lateral heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT). Also disclosed is a method for forming the semiconductor structure.

Abstract: A structure includes a first source/drain region and a second source/drain region in a semiconductor body; and a trench isolation between the first and second source/drain regions in the semiconductor body. A first doping region is about the first source/drain region, a second doping region about the second source/drain region, and the trench isolation is within the second doping region. A third doping region is adjacent to the first doping region and extend partially into the second doping region to create a charge trap section. A gate conductor of a gate structure is over the trench isolation and the first, second, and third doping regions. The charge trap section creates a charge controlled e-fuse operable by applying a stress voltage to the gate conductor.
