    摘要: A method is disclosed to reduce parasitic capacitance in a metal high dielectric constant (MHK) transistor. The method includes forming a MHK gate stack upon a substrate, the MHK gate stack having a bottom layer of high dielectric constant material, a middle layer of metal, and a top layer of one of amorphous silicon or polycrystalline silicon. The method further forms a depleted sidewall layer on sidewalls of the MHK gate stack so as to overlie the middle layer and the top layer, and not the bottom layer. The depleted sidewall layer is one of amorphous silicon or polycrystalline silicon. The method further forms an offset spacer layer over the depleted sidewall layer and over exposed surfaces of the bottom layer.

    摘要: The present invention provides a 6T-SRAM semiconducting structure including a substrate having an SOI region and a bulk-Si region, wherein the SOI region and the bulk-Si region have a same or differing crystallographic orientation; an isolation region separating the SOI region from the bulk-Si region; and at least one first device located in the SOI region and at least one second device located in the bulk-Si region. The SOI region has an silicon layer atop an insulating layer. The bulk-Si region further comprises a well region underlying the second device and a contact to the well region, wherein the contact stabilizes floating body effects. The well contact is also used to control the threshold voltages of the FETs in the bulk-Si region to optimized the power and performance of the SRAM cell built from the combination of the SOI and bulk-Si region FETs.
