    摘要: A method and structure for selectively growing epitaxial silicon in a trench formed within a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) structure. The SOI structure includes a buried oxide layer (BOX) on a bulk silicon substrate, and a silicon layer on the BOX. A pad layer is formed on the silicon layer. The pad layer includes a pad nitride (e.g., silicon nitride) on a pad oxide (e.g., silicon dioxide), and the pad oxide has been formed on the silicon layer. A trench is formed by anisotropically etching through the pad layer, the silicon layer, the BOX, and to a depth within the bulk silicon substrate. Insulative spacers are formed on sidewalls of the trench. An epitaxial silicon layer is grown in the trench from a bottom of the trench to above the pad layer. The pad layer and portions of the epitaxial layer are removed (e.g., by chemical mechanical polishing), resulting in a planarized top surface of the epitaxial layer that is about coplanar with a top surface of the silicon layer. Electronic devices may be formed within the epitaxial silicon of the trench. Such electronic devices may include dynamic random access memory (DRAM), bipolar transistors, Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) circuits which are sensitive to floating body effects, and devices requiring threshold voltage matching. Semiconductor devices (e.g., field effect transistors) may be coupled to the SOI structure outside the trench.

    摘要: A wrapped-gate transistor includes a substrate having an upper surface and first and second side surfaces opposing to each other. Source and drain regions are formed in the substrate with a channel region therebetween. The channel region extends from the first side surface to the second side surfaces of the substrate. A gate dielectric layer is formed on the substrate. A gate electrode is formed on the gate dielectric layer to cover the channel region from the upper surface and the first and second side surfaces with the gate dielectric therebetween. The substrate is a silicon island formed on an insulation layer of an SOI (silicon-on-insulator) substrate or on a conventional non-SOI substrate, and has four side surfaces including the first and second side surfaces. The source and drain regions are formed on the portions of the substrate adjoining the third and fourth side surfaces which are perpendicular to the first and second side surfaces. The wrapped-gate structure provides a better and quicker potential control within the channel area, which yields steep sub-threshold slope and low sensitivity to the “body-to-source” voltage.

    摘要: A multi-level memory cell capable of storing two or three bits of digital data occupies only four lithographic squares and requires only one or two logic level voltage sources, respectively. High noise immunity derives from integration of the multi-level signal in the memory cell directly from logic level digital signals applied to two capacitors (as well as the bit line for the eight level mode of operation) by using capacitors having different values in order to avoid digital-to-analog conversion during writing. The capacitors can be simultaneously written and read to reduce memory cycle time. Transistor channels and capacitor connections are formed on adjacent semiconductor pillars using plugs of semiconductor material between pillars as common gate structures and connections. Opposite surfaces of the pillars also serve as storage nodes with common capacitor plates formed by conformal deposition between rows of plugs and pillars.
