Abstract: According to an aspect of the invention, a device structure is provided where charging and discharging occur in a trapping region formed by a stack of films that is placed on the back of a thin silicon channel. Uncoupling the charging mechanisms that lead to the memory function from the front gate transistor operation allows efficient scaling of the front gate. But significantly more important is a unique character of these devices: these structures can be operated both as a transistor and as a memory. The thin active silicon channel and the thin front oxide provide the capability of scaling the structure to tens of nanometers, and the dual function of the device is obtained by using two voltage ranges that are clearly distinct. At small voltages the structure operates as a normal transistor, and at higher voltages the structure operates as a memory device.

Abstract: A method and structure for forming patterned SOI regions and bulk regions is described wherein a silicon containing layer over an insulator may have a plurality of selected thickness' and wherein bulk regions may be suitable to form DRAM's and SOI regions may be suitable to form merged logic such as CMOS. Ion implantation of oxygen is used to formed patterned buried oxide layers at selected depths and mask edges may be shaped to form stepped oxide regions from one depth to another.

Abstract: In a method for forming a three dimensional interconnected structure, sets of devices on receiver and donor semiconductor substrates. The donor substrate is implanted with two or more exfoliating implants, the substrates are bonded together to form a bonded structure that is heated until a portion of the donor substrate exfoliates from the bonded structure and leaves a residual portion of the donor bonded to the receiver. To form three dimensional interconnected integrated circuits from devices formed on donor and receiver substrates, the receiver devices are covered with a protective and bonding layer. Interconnect structures extending from the surface of the protective and bonding layer to the devices of the receiver are formed, and a donor is implanted with two or more exfoliating implants. After bonding and heating of the two substrates until a portion of the donor exfoliates from the bonded substrates, leaving a remaining layer of the donor bonded to the receiver, the resulting devices are interconnected in an integrated circuit.
