    摘要: A programmable device (10) is formed from a silicided MOS transistor. The transistor (10) is formed at a face of a semiconductor layer (12), and includes a diffused drain region (17, 22) and a source region (19, 24) that are spaced apart by a channel region (26). At least the drain region (22) has a surface with a silicided layer (28) formed on a portion thereof. The application of a programming voltage in the range of ten to fifteen volts from the drain region (17, 22) to the source region (19, 24) has been discovered to reliably form a melt filament (40) across the channel region (26). A gate voltage (V.sub.g) may be applied to the insulated gate (14) over the channel region (26) such that a ten-volt programming voltage (V.sub.PROG) will cause melt filaments to form in those transistors to which the gate voltage is applied, but will not cause melt filaments to form in the remaining transistors (10) of an array.

    摘要: An efficient ESD protection circuit is provided having a resistor (18) disposed between an input pin (12) and the functioning circuitry (22) of an integrated circuit package. A primary switching device (28) is electrically connected between the input pin (12) and a reference voltage pin (14). The resistor (18) comprises an N- well (48) formed within the P- substrate (44) and an N+ diffused reion (50) formed within the N- well (48). A silicided layer (52) is formed over the N+ region (50). The primary switching device (28) is constructed to share the same PN junction (54) utilized by the resistor (18). In constructing the primary switching device (28), a P+ region (70) is formed within the N- well (48). Further, an N+ region (68) is formed within the P- substrate (44). Thus, the primary switching device (40) includes three PN junctions (72, 54, 74) which will conduct at a time prior to, or contemporaneous with, the breakdown of resistor (18).

A method of performing a symmetric angle implant is also disclosed to provide reduced cross-diffusion within the cell, comprising patterning equally spaced resist structures on opposite sides of the active regions of the cell to equally shadow laterally opposed first and second angled implants.

    摘要: The present invention facilitates semiconductor device fabrication by providing mechanisms for utilizing different isolation schemes within embedded memory and other logic portions of a device. The isolation mechanism of the embedded memory portion is improved relative to other portions of the device by increasing dopant concentrations or reducing the depth of the dopant profiles within well regions of the embedded memory array. As a result, smaller isolation spacing can be employed thereby permitting a more compact array. The isolation mechanism of the logic portion is relatively less than that of the embedded memory portion, which permits greater operational speed for the logic.

The method comprises specifying (105) a design parameter for memory transistors and logic transistors and selecting (110) a test retention-mode bias voltage for the memory transistors. The method further comprises determining (115) a first relationship of a retention-mode leakage current and the design parameter at the test retention-mode bias voltage and obtaining (120) a second relationship of an active-mode drive current and the design parameter. The first and second relationships are used (125) to assess whether there is a range of values of the design parameter where the retention-mode leakage current and the active-mode drive current are within a predefined circuit specification. The method also includes adjusting (130) the test retention-mode bias voltage and repeating the determining and the using if the retention-mode total leakage current or the active-mode drive current is outside of the predefined circuit specification.
