    摘要: A tiltable micro-electro-mechanical (MEMS) system lens comprises a microscopic lens located on a front surface of a semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) substrate and a semiconductor rim surrounding the periphery of the microscopic lens. Two horizontal semiconductor beams located at different heights are provided within a top semiconductor layer. The microscopic lens may be tilted by applying an electrical bias between the lens rim and one of the two semiconductor beams, thereby altering the path of an optical beam through the microscopic lens. An array of tiltable microscopic lenses may be employed to form a composite lens having a variable focal length may be formed. A design structure for such a tiltable MEMS lens is also provided.

    摘要: A method for forming a plurality of variable linewidth spacers adjoining a plurality of uniformly spaced topographic features uses a conformal resist layer upon a spacer material layer located over the plurality of uniformly spaced topographic features. The conformal resist layer is differentially exposed and developed to provide a differential thickness resist layer that is used as a sacrificial mask when forming the variable linewidth spacers. A method for forming uniform linewidth spacers adjoining narrowly spaced topographic features and widely spaced topographic features over the same substrate uses a masked isotropic etching of a variable thickness spacer material layer to provide a more uniform partially etched spacer material layer, followed by an unmasked anisotropic etching of the partially etched spacer material layer. A related method for forming the uniform linewidth spacers uses a two-step anisotropic etch method that includes at least one masking process step.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a back-end-of-line (BEOL) resistive structure comprises a second metal line embedded in a second dielectric layer and overlying a first metal line embedded in a first dielectric layer. A doped semiconductor spacer or plug laterally abutting sidewalls of the second metal line and vertically abutting a top surface of the first metal line provides a resistive link between the first and second metal lines. In another embodiment, another BEOL resistive structure comprises a first metal line and a second metal line are embedded in a dielectric layer. A doped semiconductor spacer or plug laterally abutting the sidewalls of the first and second metal lines provides a resistive link between the first and second metal lines.

    摘要: Methods for fabricating a device structure for use as a memory cell in a non-volatile random access memory. The method includes forming first and second semiconductor bodies on the insulating layer that have a separated, juxtaposed relationship, doping the first semiconductor body to form a source and a drain, and partially removing the second semiconductor body to define a floating gate electrode adjacent to the channel of the first semiconductor body. The method further includes forming a first dielectric layer between the channel of the first semiconductor body and the floating gate electrode, forming a second dielectric layer on a top surface of the floating gate electrode, and forming a control gate electrode on the second dielectric layer that cooperates with the floating gate electrode to control carrier flow in the channel in the first semiconductor body.
