Abstract: A photodetector includes a photodetecting region in a semiconductor substrate, and a reflector extending at least partially along a sidewall of the photodetecting region in the semiconductor substrate. The reflector includes an air gap defined in the semiconductor substrate. The reflector allows use of thinner germanium for the photodetecting region. The air gap may have a variety of internal features to direct electromagnetic radiation towards the photodetecting region.

Abstract: A structure includes a semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) substrate including a semiconductor substrate, a buried insulator layer over the semiconductor substrate, and an SOI layer over the buried insulator layer. The structure also includes a first active device and a second active device. At least one polycrystalline active region fill shape is in the SOI layer. A polycrystalline isolation region is in the semiconductor substrate under the buried insulator layer. The polycrystalline isolation region is under the first active device, but not under the second active device. The polycrystalline isolation region extends to different depths into the semiconductor substrate. The first and second active devices may include monocrystalline active regions, and a third polycrystalline active region may also be in the SOI layer over the polycrystalline isolation region.

Abstract: A structure according to the disclosure includes a dielectric layer over a substrate and horizontally between a gate terminal and a source/drain (S/D) terminal. The dielectric layer has a first surface proximal to the substrate and a second surface opposite the first surface. The dielectric layer has a plurality of recesses in the second surface. At least some of the plurality of recesses have different depths. A conductive field plate includes a metal layer on the second surface and within the plurality of recesses.

Abstract: A structure includes an electrical device, and an active contact landed on a portion of the electrical device. The active contact includes a first body of a first material. A thermal dissipation pillar is adjacent the active contact and unlanded on but over the portion of the electrical device. The thermal dissipation pillar includes a second body of a second material having a higher thermal conductivity than the first material. The thermal dissipation pillar may be in thermal communication with a wire in a dielectric layer over the active contact and the thermal dissipation pillar. The electrical device can be any integrated circuit device that generates heat.

Abstract: A structure includes a lab-on-chip (LOC) sensor and frontside port and cavity features for conveying a flowable sample (fluid or gas) to a sensing element of the sensor. The cavity is confined within middle of the line (MOL) dielectric layer(s). Alternatively, the cavity includes a lower section within MOL dielectric layer(s), an upper section within back end of the line (BEOL) dielectric layer(s) in the first metal (M1) level, a divider between the sections, and a duct linking the sections. Alternatively, the cavity includes a lower portion within MOL dielectric layer(s) and an upper portion continuous with the lower portion and within BEOL dielectric layer(s) in the M1 level. Optionally, the cavity is separated from the sensing element by an additional dielectric layer and/or at least partially lined with a dielectric liner. The port extends from the top of the BEOL dielectric layers down to the cavity.

Abstract: Disclosed are a transistor and a method for forming the transistor. The method includes concurrently forming gate and source/drain openings through an uppermost layer (i.e., a dielectric layer) in a stack of layers. The method can further include: depositing and patterning gate conductor material so that a first gate section is in the gate opening and a second gate section is above the gate opening and so that the source/drain openings are exposed; extending the depth of the source/drain openings; and depositing and patterning source/drain conductor material so that a first source/drain section is in each source/drain opening and a second source/drain section is above each source/drain opening. Alternatively, the method can include: forming a plug in the gate opening and sidewall spacers in the source/drain openings; extending the depth of source/drain openings; depositing and patterning the source/drain conductor material; and subsequently depositing and patterning the gate conductor material.
