    摘要: A computational methodology that improves the accuracy of model parameters in a compact model uses methods and algorithms to self-consistently match independently developed base and stress models by re-fitting the stress model to the data set that generates the base model. The re-fitting algorithm removes any discrepancy between the base model and the stress model as the stress model is applied to the data set obtained from a dimension-scaling macro. Stress offsets for dimension-scaling macro devices are calculated to fit the measured values of the model parameters for the same devices. The process of fitting the model parameters to the data set from the dimension-scaling macro calculates constant, linear, and quadratic coefficients for the model parameters, which are employed to increase the accuracy of the model parameters and of the compact model used in circuit simulations and optimization.

    摘要: A semiconductor resistor, method of making the resistor and method of making an IC including resistors. Buried wells are formed in the silicon substrate of a silicon on insulator (SOI) wafer. At least one trench is formed in the buried wells. Resistors are formed along the sidewalls of the trench and, where multiple trenches form pillars, in the pillars between the trenches by doping the sidewalls with an angled implant. Resistor contacts are formed to the buried well at opposite ends of the trenches and pillars, if any.

    摘要: A method of modeling soft errors in a logic circuit uses two separate current sources inserted at the source and drain of a device to simulate a single event upset (SEU) caused by, e.g., an alpha-particle strike. In an nfet implementation the current flows from the source or drain toward the body of the device. Current waveforms having known amplitudes are injected at the current sources while simulating operation of the logic circuit and the state of the logic circuit is determined from the simulated operation. The amplitudes of the current waveforms can be independently adjusted. The simulator monitors the state of device and makes a log entry when a transition occurs. The process may be repeated for other devices in the logic circuit to provide an overall characterization of the susceptibility of the circuit to soft errors.

    摘要: A method of forming a dual gate fin-type field effect transistor (FinFET) structure patterns silicon fins over an insulator and patterns a gate conductor at an angle to the fins. The gate conductor is formed laterally adjacent to and over center portions of the fins. The gate conductor is planarized such that the gate conductor is separated into distinct gate conductor portions that are separated by the fins. These gate conductor portions include front gates and back gates. The front gates and the back gates alternate along the structure, such that each fin has a front gate on one side and a back gate on the opposite side. Then front gate wiring is formed to the front gates and back gate wiring is formed to the back gates.

    摘要: A structure and method for providing an antifuse which is closed by laser energy with an electrostatic assist. Two or more metal segments are formed over a semiconductor structure with an air gap or a porous dielectric between the metal segments. Pulsed laser energy is applied to one or more of the metal segments while a voltage potential is applied between the metal segments to create an electrostatic field. The pulsed laser energy softens the metal segment, and the electrostatic field causes the metal segments to move into contact with each other. The electrostatic field reduces the amount of laser energy which must be applied to the semiconductor structure to close the antifuse.
