    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.

    摘要: A method is described for fabricating and antifuse structure (100) integrated with a semiconductor device such as a FINFET or planar CMOS devise. A region of semiconducting material (11) is provided overlying an insulator (3) disposed on a substrate (10); an etching process exposes a plurality of corners (111–114) in the semiconducting material. The exposed corners are oxidized to form elongated tips (111t–114t) at the corners; the oxide (31) overlying the tips is removed. An oxide layer (51), such as a gate oxide, is then formed on the semiconducting material and overlying the corners; this layer has a reduced thickness at the corners. A layer of conducting material (60) is formed in contact with the oxide layer (51) at the corners, thereby forming a plurality of possible breakdown paths between the semiconducting material and the layer of conducting material through the oxide layer. Applying a voltage, such as a burn-in voltage, to the structure converts at least one of the breakdown paths to a conducting path (103, 280).

    摘要: A voltage divider for integrated circuits that does not include the use of resistors. In one embodiment, voltage node VDD is connected with two n-type transistors, NFET1 and NFET2, which are connected in series. NFET 1 includes a source (12), a drain (14), a gate electrode (16) having a gate area A1 (not shown), and a p-substrate (18). NFET2 includes a source (20), a drain (22), a gate electrode (24) having a gate area A2 (not shown), and a p-substrate (26). Source (12) and drain (14) of NFET1 are coupled with gate electrode (24) of NFET2. The voltage difference between NFET1 and NFET2 has a linear function with VDD. As a result, voltage VDD may be divided between NFET1 and NFET2 by properly choosing the ratio between each of the respective transistor gate electrode areas, (A1) and (A2).
