Thin semiconductor regions and thick semiconductor regions are formed oven an insulator layer. Thick semiconductor regions include at least one semiconductor fin. A gate conductor layer is patterned to form disposable planar gate electrodes over ETSOI regions and disposable side gate electrodes on sidewalls of semiconductor fins. End portions of the semiconductor fins are vertically recessed to provide thinned fin portions adjacent to an unthinned fin center portion. After appropriate masking by dielectric layers, selective epitaxy is performed on planar source and drain regions of ETSOI field effect transistors (FETs) to form raised source and drain regions. Further, fin source and drain regions are grown on the thinned fin portions. Source and drain regions, fins, and the disposable gate electrodes are planarized. The disposable gate electrodes are replaced with metal gate electrodes. FinFETs and ETSOI FETs are provided on the same semiconductor substrate.

Increased protection of areas of a chip are provided by both a mask structure of increased robustness in regard to semiconductor manufacturing processes or which can be removed with increased selectivity and controllability in regard to underlying materials, or both. Mask structures are provided which exhibit an interface of a chemical reaction, grain or material type which can be exploited to enhance either or both types of protection. Structures of such masks include TERA material which can be converted or hydrated and selectively etched using a mixture of hydrogen fluoride and a hygroscopic acid or organic solvent, and two layer structures of similar or dissimilar materials.

An anti-fuse structure that can be programmed at low voltage and current and which potentially consumes very little chip spaces and can be formed interstitially between elements spaced by a minimum lithographic feature size is formed on a composite substrate such as a silicon-on-insulator wafer by etching a contact through an insulator to a support semiconductor layer, preferably in combination with formation of a capacitor-like structure reaching to or into the support layer. The anti-fuse may be programmed either by the selected location of conductor formation and/or damaging a dielectric of the capacitor-like structure. An insulating collar is used to surround a portion of either the conductor or the capacitor-like structure to confine damage to the desired location. Heating effects voltage and noise due to programming currents are effectively isolated to the bulk silicon layer, permitting programming during normal operation of the device. Thus the potential for self-repair without interruption of operation is realized.

The present invention comprises a method including the steps of providing a substrate; forming a trench in the substrate; forming a buried plate in the substrate about the trench; depositing a dielectric layer within the trench; and then depositing a P-type metal atop the dielectric layer, where the dielectric layer is positioned between the P-type metal and the buried plate. Another aspect of the present invention provides a trench capacitor where said trench capacitor comprises a trench formed in a substrate, a buried plate formed in the substrate about the trench; a node dielectric; and a P-type metal liner deposited within the trench, where the P-type metal liner is separated from the buried plate by the node dielectric. A P-type metal is defined as a metal having a work function close to the Si valence band, approximately equal to 5.1 eV.

Disclosed herein is a patterned silicon-on-insulator (SOI) method of fabricating a combined integrated circuit having both a logic portion and an embedded dynamic random access memory (DRAM) array portion. The disclosed method includes masking an array portion of a substrate with a first mask, implanting oxygen to form a buried oxide layer in a logic portion of the substrate not masked by the first mask, depositing and patterning a second mask over the array portion and the logic portion, and etching isolation trenches in the array portion and the logic portion, the isolation trenches defined by openings in the patterned second mask. The first mask may additionally protect the array portion when rounding device corners in the logic portion. The second mask may additionally protect the logic portion when performing implants in the array portion. An integrated circuit formed on a single substrate is disclosed herein including at least one SOI device having a rounded corner and at least one DRAM cell having a vertical pass gate, wherein the DRAM cell is formed on a bulk portion of the substrate.

There is disclosed herein a unique fabrication sequence and the structure of a vertical silicon on insulator (SOI) bipolar transistor integrated into a typical DRAM trench process sequence. A DRAM array utilizing an NFET allows for an integrated bipolar NPN sequence. Similarly, a vertical bipolar PNP device is implemented by changing the array transistor to a PFET. Particularly, a BICMOS device is fabricated in SOI. The bipolar emitter contacts and CMOS diffusion contacts are formed simultaneously of polysilicon plugs. The CMOS diffusion contact is the plug contact from bitline to storage node of a memory cell.
