    摘要: A process for fabricating a tapered trench on a silicon substrate. The process comprises the steps of forming an initial trench in the substrate and implanting nitrogen ions on the initial trench side walls. More nitrogen ions are implanted adjacent the exposed surface of the substrate than adjacent the trench bottom. Finally, the initial trench side walls are oxidized to create the tapered shape.

    摘要: A planar silicon-on-insulator (SOI) structure and a process for fabricating the structure. The SOI structure has a silicon wafer, an oxide layer, and a silicon layer. Trenches are formed, extending from the top surface of the structure to the silicon wafer, and are filled with a semiconductor. The trenches have a top, a bottom, and side walls. The side walls have side-wall silicon portions. The side-wall silicon portions of the trench side walls are covered by trench side-wall oxide layers. A protective side wall extends over the trench side walls and trench side-wall oxide layers from the trench top to the trench bottom.

    摘要: A silicon on insulator transistor is disclosed which has a Schottky contact to the body. The Schottky contact may be formed on the source and/or drain side of the gate conductor. A spacer, with at least a part thereof being disposable, is formed on the sidewalls of the gate conductor. Extension regions are provided in the substrate which extend under the spacer and the gate conductor. Source and drain diffusion regions are implanted into the substrate adjacent to the extension regions. The disposable part of the spacer is then removed to expose a portion of the extension region. A metal layer is formed at least in the extension regions, resulting in the Schottky contact.

    摘要: A Single Electron MOS Memory (SEMM), in which one bit of information is represented by storing only one electron, has been demonstrated at room temperature. The SEMM is a floating gate Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (MOS) transistor in silicon with a channel width (about 10 nanometers) which is smaller than the Debye screening length of a single electron stored on the floating gate, and a nanoscale polysilicon dot (about 7 nanometers by 7 nanometers by 2 nanometers) as the floating gate which is positioned between the channel and the control gate. An electron stored on the floating gate can screen the entire channel from the potential on the control gate, and lead to: (i) a discrete shift in the threshold voltage; (ii) a staircase relation between the charging voltage and the shift; and (iii) a self-limiting charging process. The structure and fabrication of the SEMM is well adapted to the manufacture of ultra large-scale integrated circuits.
