    摘要: A field effect transistor has an inverse-T gate conductor having a thicker center portion and thinner wings. The wings may be of a different material different than the center portion. In addition, gate dielectric may be thicker along edges than in the center. Doping can also be different under the wings than along the center portion or beyond the gate. Regions under the wings may be doped differently than the gate conductor. With a substantially vertical implant, a region of the channel overlapped by an edge of the gate is implanted without implanting a center portion of the channel, and this region is blocked from receiving at least a portion of the received by thick portions of the gate electrode.

A source/emitter region and a drain region are formed in the semiconductor substrate and border first opposite sides of a body region therebetween. A gate is formed above the substrate between the source/emitter region and the drain region to form an FET having three terminals including the gate, the source/emitter region, and the drain region. A collector region is formed in the substrate abutting the drain region and extending further under the gate and the drain region. A bipolar transistor having three terminals is formed including a base region, the source/emitter, and the collector region. A shortest distance between the collector region and the source/emitter region defines a base width.

    摘要: The preferred embodiment overcomes the difficulties found in the background art by providing a body contact and diffusion contact formed in a single shared via for silicon on insulator (SOI) technologies. By forming the body contact and diffusion contact in a single shared via, device size is minimized and performance is improved. Particularly, the formed body contact connects the SOI layer with the underlying substrate to avoid instabilities and leakage resulting from a floating SOI channel region. The formed diffusion contact connects device diffusions to above wiring to facilitate device operation. By providing the body contact and diffusion contact together in a single shared via, the preferred embodiment avoids the area penalty that would result from separate contacts. Additionally, the preferred embodiment provides a body contact that is self aligned with other devices, minimizing tolerances needed while minimizing process complexity. Additionally, the shared via body contact and diffusion contact can be selectively formed borderless to adjacent gate conductors in the device.
