    摘要: Disclosed are embodiments of a structure that comprises a first device, having multiple FETs, and a second device, having at least one FET. Sections of a first portion of a semiconductor layer below the first device are doped and contacted to form back gates. A second portion of the semiconductor layer below the second device remains un-doped and un-contacted and, thus, functions as an insulator. Despite the performance degradation of the first device due to back gate capacitance, the back gates result in a net gain for devices such as, SRAM cells, which require precise Vt control. Contrarily, despite marginal Vt control in the second device due to the absence of back gates, the lack of capacitance loading and the added insulation result in a net gain for high performance devices such as, logic circuits.

    摘要: Disclosed are planar and non-planar field effect transistor (FET) structures and methods of forming the structures. The structures comprise segmented active devices (e.g., multiple semiconductor fins for a non-planar transistor or multiple semiconductor layer sections for a planar transistor) connected at opposite ends to source/drain bridges. A gate electrode is patterned on the segmented active devices between the source/drain bridges such that it has a reduced length between the segments (i.e., between the semiconductor fins or sections). Source/drain contacts land on the source/drain bridges such that they are opposite only those portions of the gate electrode with the reduced gate length. These FET structures can be configured to simultaneously maximize the density of the transistor, minimize leakage power and maintain the parasitic capacitance between the source/drain contacts and the gate conductor below a preset level, depending upon the performance and density requirements.

    摘要: Disclosed is a semiconductor structure and associated method of performing the structure with good performance and stability trade-offs for digital circuits and SRAM cells and/or analog FETs on the same chip. Specifically, a dual-strain layer is formed over digital circuits and the other devices on a chip. The dual-strain layer comprises tensile sections above digital logic n-type transistors, compressive sections above digital logic p-type transistors and additional tensile sections above SRAM cells and/or analog FETs. An amorphization ion-implant is performed to relax the strain over SRAM cell p-FETs and, thereby, eliminate variability and avoid p-FET performance degradation in the SRAM cells. Additionally, this ion-implant can relax the strain above both analog p-FETs and n-FETs and, thereby, eliminate variability and the coupling of the logic device process to the analog FETs and provide more predictable and well-controlled analog FETs.

    摘要: An integrated circuit structure has a buried oxide (BOX) layer above a substrate, and a first-type fin-type field effect transistor (FinFET) and a second-type FinFET above the BOX layer. The second region of the BOX layer includes a seed opening to the substrate. The top of the first-type FinFET and the second-type FinFET are planar with each other. A first region of the BOX layer below the first FinFET fin is thicker above the substrate when compared to a second region of the BOX layer below the second FinFET fin. Also, the second FinFET fin is taller than the first FinFET fin. The height difference between the first fin and the second fin permits the first-type FinFET to have the same drive strength as the second-type FinFET.

    摘要: Disclosed is a multiple-gate transistor that includes a channel region and source and drain regions at ends of the channel region. A gate oxide is positioned between a logic gate and the channel region and a first insulator is formed between a floating gate and the channel region. The first insulator is thicker than the gate oxide. The floating gate is electrically insulated from other structures. Also, a second insulator is positioned between a programming gate and the floating gate. Voltage in the logic gate causes the transistor to switch on and off, while stored charge in the floating gate adjusts the threshold voltage of the transistor. The transistor can comprise a fin-type field effect transistor (FinFET), where the channel region comprises the middle portion of a fin structure and the source and drain regions comprise end portions of the fin structure.
