    摘要: An optoelectronic circuit fabrication method and integrated circuit apparatus fabricated therewith. Integrated circuits are fabricated with an integral optical coupling transition to efficiently couple optical energy from an optical fiber to an integrated optical waveguide on the integrated circuit. Layers of specific materials are deposited onto a semiconductor circuit to support etching of a trench to receive an optical coupler that performs proper impedance matching between an optical fiber and an on-circuit optical waveguide that extends part way into the transition channel. A silicon based dielectric that includes at least a portion with a refractive index substantially equal to a section of the optical fiber is deposited into the etched trench to create the optical coupler. Silicon based dielectrics with graded indices are also able to be used. Chemical mechanical polishing is used finalize preparation of the optical transition and integrated circuit.

    摘要: Novel methods for reliably and reproducibly forming magnetic tunnel junctions in integrated circuits are described. In accordance with aspects of the invention, sidewall spacer features are utilized during the processing of the film stack. Advantageously, these sidewall spacer features create a tapered masking feature which helps to avoid byproduct redeposition during the etching of the MTJ film stack, thereby improving process yield. Moreover, the sidewall spacer features may be used as encapsulating layers during subsequent processing steps and as vertical contacts to higher levels of metallization.

    摘要: Line trenches are formed in a stack of a bulk semiconductor substrate and an oxygen-impermeable layer such that the depth of the trenches in the bulk semiconductor substrate is greater than the lateral spacing between a pair of adjacently located line trenches. Oxygen-impermeable spacers are formed on sidewalls of the line trenches. An isotropic etch, either alone or in combination with oxidation, removes a semiconductor material from below the oxygen-impermeable spacers to expand the lateral extent of expanded-bottom portions of the line trenches, and to reduce the lateral spacing between adjacent expanded-bottom portions. The semiconductor material around the bottom portions is oxidized to form a semiconductor oxide portion that underlies multiple oxygen-impermeable spacers. Semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) portions are formed above the semiconductor oxide portion and within the bulk semiconductor substrate.
