    摘要: An integrated circuit system having a plurality of macros is provided. The integrated circuit system includes an external voltage supply input configured for supplying an external voltage to the integrated circuit; and a plurality of internal voltage supply generators, each of the plurality of internal voltage supply generators being connected to a respective macro of the plurality of macros and configured for receiving the external voltage via the external voltage supply input for generating an internal voltage supply for operating its respective macro. Each of the plurality of internal voltage supply generators includes circuitry for generating the internal voltage supply and circuitry for disconnecting at least a portion of its respective macro. The integrated circuit system can be applied to a semiconductor chip to save active or stand-by power. It can also be used to disconnect a defective portion of the chip and optionally replace it with a non-defective portion of the chip.

    摘要: A structural alternative to retro doping to reduce transistor leakage is provided by providing a liner in a trench, undercutting a conduction channel region in an active semiconductor layer, etching a side, corner and/or bottom of the conduction channel where the undercut exposes semiconductor material in the active layer and replacing the removed portion of the conduction channel with insulator. This shaping of the conduction channel increases the distance to adjacent circuit elements which, if charged, could otherwise induce a voltage and cause a change in back-channel threshold in regions of the conduction channel and narrows and reduces cross-sectional area of the channel where the conduction in the channel is not well-controlled; both of which effects significantly reduce leakage of the transistor.

    摘要: A deep trench is formed to a depth midway into a buried insulator layer of a semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) substrate. A top semiconductor layer is laterally recessed by an isotropic etch that is selective to the buried insulator layer. The deep trench is then etched below a bottom surface of the buried insulator layer. Ion implantation is performed at an angle into the deep trench to dope the sidewalls of the deep trench beneath the buried insulator layer, while the laterally recessed sidewalls of the top semiconductor layer are not implanted with dopant ions. A node dielectric and trench fill materials are deposited into the deep trench. A buried strap has an upper buried strap sidewall that is offset from a lower buried strap sidewall and a deep trench sidewall.
