The fin-shaped field effect transistor device may also include a fin structure disposed on the top surface of the semiconductor substrate, where the fin structure includes a first sidewall and a second sidewall opposite of the first sidewall. The first sidewall is adjacent to a first region of the top surface of the semiconductor substrate and the second sidewall is adjacent to a second region of the top surface of the semiconductor substrate. The fin-shaped field effect transistor device may also include an insulation layer disposed above the fin structure and the first and second regions of the top surface. The fin-shaped field effect transistor device may also include a conductor structure disposed above and adjacent to the insulation layer.
Abstract:
A system and method utilize a redistribution layer in a flip-chip or wirebond package, which is also used to route signals to bumps, as a layer for the construction of an on-chip inductor or a layer of a multiple-layer on-chip inductor. In one example, the redistribution layer is surrounded by dual-layer passivation to protect it, and the inductor formed thereby, from the environment and isolate it, and the inductor formed thereby, from the metal layer beneath it.

Abstract:
According to one embodiment, a semiconductor device comprises a high-k gate dielectric overlying a well region having a first conductivity type formed in a semiconductor body, and a semiconductor gate formed on the high-k gate dielectric. The semiconductor gate is lightly doped so as to have a second conductivity type opposite the first conductivity type. The disclosed semiconductor device, which may be an NMOS or PMOS device, can further comprise an isolation region formed in the semiconductor body between the semiconductor gate and a drain of the second conductivity type, and a drain extension well of the second conductivity type surrounding the isolation region in the semiconductor body. In one embodiment, the disclosed semiconductor device is fabricated as part of an integrated circuit including one or more CMOS logic devices.
