    摘要: A semiconductor structure that may be a discrete capacitor, a Silicon On Insulator (SOI) Integrated Circuit (IC) including circuits with discrete such capacitors and/or decoupled by such discrete capacitors and an on-chip decoupling capacitor (decap). One capacitor plate may be a well (N-well or P-well) in a silicon bulk layer or a thickened portion of a surface silicon layer. The other capacitor plate may be doped polysilicon and separated from the first capacitor plate by capacitor dielectric, e.g., CVD or thermal oxide. Contacts to each of the capacitor plates directly connect and extend from the respective plates, such that direct contact is available from both plates.

    摘要: A structure and method for providing an antifuse which is closed by laser energy with an electrostatic assist. Two or more metal segments are formed over a semiconductor structure with an air gap or a porous dielectric between the metal segments. Pulsed laser energy is applied to one or more of the metal segments while a voltage potential is applied between the metal segments to create an electrostatic field. The pulsed laser energy softens the metal segment, and the electrostatic field causes the metal segments to move into contact with each other. The electrostatic field reduces the amount of laser energy which must be applied to the semiconductor structure to close the antifuse.

    摘要: A method for fabricating a connector structure for interconnecting integrated circuit chips. The method includes the steps of patterning, masking and etching a substrate to form protrusions on the top and/or bottom surfaces of the substrate. Then the protrusions are preferentially etched to form truncated protrusions. An integrated circuit chip having pads on its surface is then joined to the top and/or bottom sides of the substrate. The protrusions and pads are coated with an electrically conductive metal. The substrate and the integrated circuit chips are joined and aligned together such that the truncated protrusions mate with the pads. Metal-coated vias are formed through the substrate to electrically connect the integrated circuit chips on the surfaces of the substrate.

    摘要: An ESD protection method and apparatus are provided for an IC chip having an I/O pad and I/O circuitry coupled to the I/O pad. A low threshold voltage FET is coupled to the I/O pad in parallel with the I/O circuitry for protecting the IC chip from an ESD event on the I/O pad. The FET also is coupled to a first voltage terminal of the I/O circuitry for providing a shunting path for the ESD event, thereby effectuating the protecting of the IC chip from the ESD event on the I/O pad. A first control circuit is coupled to a gate of the FET for maintaining the gate at a voltage level below a threshold voltage of the FET, thereby maintaining the FET in an off state during normal operation of the IC chip. Preferably a second control circuit is coupled between the FET and the first voltage terminal and operates in conjunction with the first control circuit for maintaining the FET in an off state during normal operation of the IC chip. The first control circuit preferably comprises a short circuit between the gate of the FET and the first voltage terminal, an inverter coupled between the gate of the FET and a second voltage terminal or a negative bias generator coupled to the gate of the FET. The second control circuit preferably comprises a short circuit between the FET and the first voltage terminal or a diode coupled between the FET and the first voltage terminal.

    摘要: Disclosed is a semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) structure having sub-insulator layer void(s) selectively placed in a substrate so that capacitance coupling between a first section of a semiconductor layer and the substrate will be less than capacitance coupling between a second section of the semiconductor layer and the substrate. The first section may contain a first device on an insulator layer and the second section may contain a second device on the insulator layer. Alternatively, the first and second sections may comprise different regions of the same device on an insulator layer. For example, in an SOI field effect transistor (FET), sub-insulator layer voids can be selectively placed in the substrate below the source, drain and/or body contact diffusion regions, but not below the channel region so that capacitance coupling between the these various diffusion regions and the substrate will be less than capacitance coupling between the channel region and the substrate. Also, disclosed is an associated method of forming such an SOI structure.
