    摘要: A semiconductor device is formed with low resistivity self aligned silicide contacts with high-K/metal gates. Embodiments include postponing silicidation of a metal layer on source/drain regions in a silicon substrate until deposition of a high-K dielectric, thereby preserving the physical and morphological properties of the silicide film and improving device performance. An embodiment includes forming a replaceable gate electrode on a silicon-containing substrate, forming source/drain regions, forming a metal layer on the source/drain regions, forming an ILD over the metal layer on the substrate, removing the replaceable gate electrode, thereby forming a cavity, depositing a high-K dielectric layer in the cavity at a temperature sufficient to initiate a silicidation reaction between the metal layer and underlying silicon, and forming a metal gate electrode on the high-K dielectric layer.

    摘要: A precision resistor is formed with a controllable resistance to compensate for variations that occur with temperature. An embodiment includes forming a resistive semiconductive element having a width and a length on a substrate, patterning an electrically conductive line across the width of the resistive semiconductive element, but electrically isolated therefrom, and forming a depletion channel in the resistive semiconductive element under the electrically conductive line to control the resistance value of the resistive semiconductive element. The design enables dynamic adjustment of the resistance, thereby improving the reliability of the resistor or allowing for resistance modification during final packaging.

    摘要: An approach for providing conversion of a planar design to a FinFET design is disclosed. Embodiments include: receiving a planar design having a plurality of diffusion regions; overlapping a plurality of parallel fin mandrels with a plurality of evenly-spaced parallel lines of a grid; snapping the diffusion regions to the grid based on the parallel lines; and generating a FinFET design based on the overlapping and the snapping. Embodiments include the parallel lines and the parallel fin mandrels being perpendicular to a poly orientation associated with the planar design, and determining a spacing length between the parallel lines; determining a plurality of edges of the diffusion regions that are parallel to the poly orientation; and cropping the diffusion regions until each of the edges has a length that is a multiple of the spacing length.
