    摘要: Embodiments of the invention provide a relatively uniform width fin in a Fin Field Effect Transistors (FinFETs) and apparatus and methods for forming the same. A fin structure may be formed such that the surface of a sidewall portion of the fin structure is normal to a first crystallographic direction. Tapered regions at the end of the fin structure may be normal to a second crystal direction. A crystallographic dependent etch may be performed on the fin structure. The crystallographic dependent etch may remove material from portions of the fin normal to the second crystal direction relatively faster, thereby resulting in a relatively uniform width fin structure.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for manufacturing low-cost high-density compact active inductor module using existing DRAM, SRAM and logic process integration. The elements of the active inductor modules are formed by three semiconductor devices including nMOS devices, deep-trench capacitors and a polysilicon or TaN resistor. The active inductor modules can be connected in a parallel and/or serial configuration to obtain a wide range of inductance values. The modular active inductors can be advantageously stored in an ASIC library to facilitate a flexible and convenient circuit design.

    摘要: A dormant mode target semiconductor device within a leakage current target unit is identified for mitigating leakage current to prevent it from reaching catastrophic runaway. A leakage current shift monitor unit is electrically connected to the output node of the leakage current target unit and collects leakage current from the selected target semiconductor device for two consecutive predefined temporal periods and measures the difference between the collected leakage currents. A comparator receives and compares the outputs of the current shift monitor unit and a reference voltage generator. The comparator propagates an alert signal to the leakage current target unit when the leakage voltage output from the leakage current shift monitor unit exceeds the reference voltage, a condition that indicates that the leakage current is about to approach catastrophic runaway levels. This alert signal switches the target semiconductor device to an active mode for leakage mitigation, which includes a repair voltage from a repair voltage generator applied to the gate of the target semiconductor device.
