    摘要: A capacitor under bitline DRAM memory cell and method for its fabrication provides a high density memory cell with the capacitor formed in the PMD layer. The memory cell utilizes several variations of storage contact pillar structures as, for example, a storage plate of the memory cell capacitor formed within a trench in the PMD layer. This capacitor plate structure is overlaid with a capacitor dielectric layer which is overlaid with another conductive layer, for example, the M1 layer to form the other capacitor plate. An access transistor formed between substrate active regions and a word line, is in electrical communication with a bit line contact, the storage contact capacitor plate, and the word line respectively. The high density memory cell benefits from the simple standard processes common to logic processes, and in one embodiment requiring only one additional masking step.

    摘要: An integrated circuit includes a SRAM array including a plurality of SRAM cells arranged in a plurality of rows and columns and having a plurality of word lines and bit lines for accessing rows and columns of cells. A power supply controller has an input operable for receiving an operation signal indicative of whether the array is in a read or write operation. The power supply controller is operable to provide a variable low voltage for the array (VSSM) coupled to a low voltage supply terminal of the array. A level of the VSSM is based on the operation signal, wherein VSSM is at a lower level when in the read operation than when in the write operation. A high voltage supply for said array (VDDM) coupled to a high voltage supply terminal for the array is biased above a word line voltage (VWL) level in the read operation.

    摘要: A method of fabricating an SRAM cell with reduced leakage is disclosed. The method comprises fabricating asymmetrical transistors in the SRAM cell. The transistors are asymmetrical in a manner that reduces the drain leakage current of the transistors. The fabrication of asymmetrical pass transistors comprises forming a dielectric region on a surface of a substrate having a first conductivity type. A gate region having a length and a width is formed on the dielectric region. Source and drain extension regions having a second conductivity type are formed in the substrate on opposite sides of the gate region. A first pocket impurity region having a first concentration and the first conductivity type is formed adjacent the source. A second pocket impurity region having a second concentration and the first conductivity type may be formed adjacent the drain. If formed, the second concentration is smaller than the first concentration, reducing the gate induced drain leakage current.

    摘要: A low resistance buried back contact for SOI devices. A trench is etched in an insulating layer at minimum lithographic dimension, and sidewalls are deposited in the trench to decrease its width to sublithographic dimension. Conducting material is deposited in the trench, which serves as a low-resistance contact to the back side of the device. In another embodiment, the trench-fill material is separated from the device by an insulating layer, and serves as a back gate structure.
