    摘要: Semiconductor methods and device structures for suppressing latch-up in bulk CMOS devices. The method comprises forming a trench in the semiconductor material of the substrate with first sidewalls disposed between a pair of doped wells, also defined in the semiconductor material of the substrate. The method further comprises forming an etch mask in the trench to partially mask the base of the trench, followed by removing the semiconductor material of the substrate exposed across the partially masked base to define narrowed second sidewalls that deepen the trench. The deepened trench is filled with a dielectric material to define a trench isolation region for devices built in the doped wells. The dielectric material filling the deepened extension of the trench enhances latch-up suppression.

    摘要: A memory gain cell for a memory circuit, a memory circuit formed from multiple memory gain cells, and methods of fabricating such memory gain cells and memory circuits. The memory gain cell includes a storage device capable of holding a stored electrical charge, a write device, and a read device. The read device includes a fin of semiconducting material, electrically-isolated first and second gate electrodes flanking the fin, and a source and drain formed in the fin adjacent to the first and the second gate electrodes. The first gate electrode is electrically coupled with the storage device. The first and second gate electrodes are operative for gating a region of the fin defined between the source and the drain to thereby regulate a current flowing from the source to the drain. When gated, the magnitude of the current is dependent upon the electrical charge stored by the storage device.

    摘要: A field effect transistor is formed having wrap-around, vertically-aligned, dual gate electrodes. Starting with an silicon-on-insulator (SOI) structure having a buried silicon island, a vertical reference edge is defined, by creating a cavity within the SOI structure, and used during two etch-back steps that can be reliably performed. The first etch-back removes a portion of an oxide layer for a first distance over which a gate conductor material is then applied. The second etch-back removes a portion of the gate conductor material for a second distance. The difference between the first and second distances defines the gate length of the eventual device. After stripping away the oxide layers, a vertical gate electrode is revealed that surrounds the buried silicon island on all four side surfaces.

    摘要: A gain cell for a memory circuit, a memory circuit formed from multiple gain cells, and methods of fabricating such gain cells and memory circuits. The memory gain cell includes a storage capacitor, a write device electrically coupled with the storage capacitor for charging and discharging the storage capacitor to define a stored electrical charge, and a read device. The read device includes one or more semiconducting carbon nanotubes each electrically coupled between a source and drain. A portion of each semiconducting carbon nanotube is gated by the read gate and the storage capacitor to thereby regulate a current flowing through each semiconducting carbon nanotube from the source to the drain. The current is proportional to the electrical charge stored by the storage capacitor. In certain embodiments, the memory gain cell may include multiple storage capacitors.

    摘要: A method for forming a gate for a FinFET uses a series of selectively deposited sidewalls along with other sacrificial layers to create a cavity in which a gate can be accurately and reliably formed. This technique avoids long directional etching steps to form critical dimensions of the gate that have contributed to the difficulty of forming FinFETs using conventional techniques. In particular, a sacrificial seed layer, from which sidewalls can be accurately grown, is first deposited over a silicon fin. Once the sacrificial seed layer is etched away, the sidewalls can be surrounded by another disposable layer. Etching away the sidewalls will result in cavities being formed that straddle the fin, and gate conductor material can then be deposited within these cavities. Thus, the height and thickness of the resulting FinFET gate can be accurately controlled by avoiding a long direction etch down the entire height of the fin.
