    Abstract: A microelectromechanical (MEMS) resonator with a vacuum-cavity is fabricated using polysilicon-enabled release methods. A vacuum-cavity surrounding the MEMS beam is formed by removing release material that surrounds the beam and sealing the resulting cavity under vacuum by depositing a layer of nitride over the structure. The vacuum-cavity MEMS resonators have cantilever beams, bridge beams or breathing-bar beams.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of forming reduced feature size spacers. The method includes providing a semiconductor substrate having an area region; patterning a first spacer over a portion of the area region of the substrate, the first spacer having a first thickness and opposing side portions; patterning a pair of second spacers, each second spacer adjacent to a side portion of the first spacer, each second spacer having a second thickness in opposing side portions, wherein the second thickness is less than the first thickness; removing the first spacer; patterning a plurality of third spacers, each third spacer adjacent to one of the side portions of one of the second spacers, each one of the third spacers having a third thickness, wherein the third thickness is less than the second thickness; and removing the second spacers. The invention also relates to a field of effect transistor. The transistor includes a semiconductor substrate having a source region and a drain region; a gate area of the substrate surface; a channel region in the substrate having a cross-sectional area defined by a portion of the gate area, a channel length measured accross a portion of the channel region between the source region and the drain region; and a trench formed in a portion of the channel region, the trench having a trench length substantially equivalent to the channel length.

    Abstract: A method of fabricating minimum size and next-to-minimum size electrically conductive members using a litho-less process is disclosed. A substrate is provided, and a layer of gate dielectric material is formed on the substrate. A layer of electrically conductive material is formed over the gate dielectric material. A first mask is used to form a hard mask. A layer of first spacer material is deposited over the existing structures, and the layer of first spacer material is etched back to form spacers adjacent to the hard mask. The width of the first spacers determines the minimum size gate length. A layer of second spacer material is deposited over the existing structures, including the hard mask and first spacers. The layer of second spacer material is etched back to form a second set of spacers adjacent to the first spacers. The width of the first and second spacers together determine the next-to-minimum size gate length. A second mask is used to protect the portion of the second spacers which are to be used to define next-to-minimum size gates, and the unprotected second spacers and the hard mask are removed. The exposed electrically conductive material is removed. The remaining spacers are then removed, leaving minimum size and next-to-minimum size gates.
