    摘要: FinFET devices are formed with body contact structures enabling the fabrication of such devices having different gate threshold voltages (Vt). A body contact layer is formed to contact the gate electrode (contact) enabling a forward body bias and a reduction in Vt. Two example methods of fabrication (and resulting structures) are provided. In one method, the gate electrode (silicon-based) and body contact layer (silicon) are connected by growing epitaxy which merges the two structures forming electrical contact. In another method, a via is formed that intersects with the gate electrode (suitable conductive material) and body contact layer and is filled with conductive material to electrically connect the two structures. As a result, various FinFETs with different Vt can be fabricated for different applications.

    摘要: A method (and semiconductor device) of fabricating a semiconductor device adjusts gate threshold (Vt) of a field effect transistor (FET) with raised source/drain (S/D) regions. A halo region is formed in a two-step process that includes implanting dopants using conventional implantation techniques and implanting dopants at a specific twist angle. The dopant concentration in the halo region near the active edge of the raised S/D regions is higher and extends deeper than the dopant concentration within the interior region of the raised S/D regions. As a result, Vt near the active edge region is adjusted and different from the Vt at the active center regions, thereby achieving same or similar Vt for a FET with different width.

    摘要: A device includes a substrate with a device region on which a transistor is formed. The device region includes active edge regions and an active center region which have different oxidation growth rates. A growth rate modifier (GRM) comprising dopants which modifies oxidation growth rate is employed to produce a gate oxide layer which has a uniform thickness. The GRM may enhance or retard the oxidation growth, depending on the type of dopants used. Fluorine dopants enhance oxidation growth rate while nitrogen dopants retard oxidation growth rate.

    摘要: An asynchronous bridge includes a transmission unit and a receiving unit. The transmission unit receives a write valid signal and input data from a master circuit, outputs write addresses increment under control of the write valid signal, sequentially stores the input data in memory cells, as directed by write addresses, and then sequentially outputs the stored input data, as directed by read addresses. The receiving unit receives a read ready signal from a slave circuit, determines whether memory cells are valid, based on the write addresses and the read addresses, and then outputs a read valid signal and the input data, based on the determination.
