    摘要: A deposition technique for forming metal regions on semiconductor substrates, and more particularly to a fabrication method for the differential selective deposition of tungsten for forming tungsten contacts on an integrated circuit chip.Tungsten hexafluoride gas (WF6) is introduced into a deposition chamber containing a silicon substrate with an apertured silicon dioxide mask layer thereon. The exposed Si surfaces on which the selective deposition is to be performed, are first converted to W surfaces by the substitution reaction:2WF6+3Si=2W+3SiF4After the surface has been substituted, the WF.sub.6 is mixed with H.sub.2 as to give deposition of W by partially preferential nucleation on the already converted W surfaces. Then NF.sub.3 is bled into the system and a plasma is struck in the reaction chamber to create a simultaneous etching condition for the tungsten.The amount of NF3 and the plasma power coupled into the chamber are such as to ensure that the SiO.sub.2 surface is kept clean at all times. Thus any nuclei that may be formed on the SiO.sub.2 surface, are immediately cleaned out. Since the deposition rate on the exposed W surfaces is much higher than on the SiO.sub.2 surfaces, there will be net deposition on these areas in spite of the etching action, albeit at a lower rate.

    摘要: A cellular communication system comprises an access point (101) which supports an underlay cell of a first cell on an underlay frequency using another frequency. A proximity detector (113) detects user equipment (109) in response to a wireless transmission therefrom, which uses a different transmission technology from a transmission of the cellular communication system. In response to the proximity detection, the access point (101) temporarily transmits a pilot signal on the first cell frequency. The user equipment (109) is then switched to the access point (109) and the underlay frequency in response to a detection indication from the user equipment (109) indicating that the pilot signal has been detected. Following the switch the access point (101) terminates the transmission of the pilot signal.

    摘要: Gain cells adapted to trench capacitor technology and memory array configured with these gain cells are described. The 3T and 2T gain cells of the present invention include a trench capacitor attached to a storage node such that the storage voltage is maintained for a long retention time. The gate of the gain transistor and the trench capacitor are placed alongside the read and write wordline. This arrangement makes it possible to have the gain transistor directly coupled to the trench capacitor, resulting in a smaller cell size. The memory cell includes a first transistor provided with a gate, a source, and a drain respectively coupled to a read wordline, a first node, and a read bitline; a second transistor having a gate, a source, and a drain respectively coupled to a storage node, to a voltage source, and to the first node; a third transistor having a gate, a source, and a drain respectively coupled to a write wordline, the storage node, and a write bitline; and a capacitor having a first terminal connected to the storage node and a second terminal connected to a voltage source.
