    Abstract: Three-dimensional transistors may be formed on the basis of high mobility semiconductor materials, which may be provided locally restricted in the channel region by selective epitaxial growth processes without using a mask material for laterally confining the growing of the high mobility semiconductor material. That is, by controlling process parameters of the selective epitaxial growth process, the cross-sectional shape may be adjusted without requiring a mask material, thereby reducing overall process complexity and providing an additional degree of freedom for adjusting the transistor characteristics in terms of threshold voltage, drive current and electrostatic control of the channel region.

    Abstract: E-fuses are used in integrated circuits in order to permit real-time dynamic reprogramming of the circuit after manufacturing. An e-fuse is hereby proposed wherein the metal element adapted to be blown upon passage of a current is not comprised of a silicide layer but is rather a metal layer above which a semiconductor layer is formed. A dielectric layer is then formed on the semiconductor layer, in order to prevent metal silicide from forming over the metal layer. The process of manufacturing the e-fuse can be easily integrated in an HKMG manufacturing flow. In particular, fully silicided metal gates may be manufactured in conjunction with the e-fuse, without jeopardizing the correct functioning of the e-fuse.
