    摘要: A method for modeling a circuit includes generating a circuit model based on a netlist that defines a plurality of connections between a plurality of circuit elements. The circuit model includes a model of one or more of the circuit elements. The method further includes determining a wire width associated with at least a selected connection based, at least in part, on design rules associated with the netlist. Additionally, the method includes determining a wire thickness associated with the selected connection based, at least in part, on a signal delay associated with the wire thickness. Furthermore, the method also includes routing the selected connection in the circuit model using a wire having a width substantially equal to the wire width calculated for the connection and a thickness equal to the wire thickness calculated for the connection and storing the circuit model in an electronic storage media.

    摘要: A scalable device structure and process for forming a normally off JFET with 45 NM linewidths or less. The contacts to the source, drain and gate areas are formed by forming a layer of oxide of a thickness of less than 1000 angstroms, and, preferably 500 angstroms or less on top of the substrate. A nitride layer is formed on top of the oxide layer and holes are etched for the source, drain and gate contacts. A layer of polysilicon is then deposited so as to fill the holes and the polysilicon is polished back to planarize it flush with the nitride layer. The polysilicon contacts are then implanted with the types of impurities necessary for the channel type of the desired transistor and the impurities are driven into the semiconductor substrate below to form source, drain and gate regions.

    摘要: An integrated Junction Field Effect Transistor is disclosed which is much smaller and much less expensive to fabricate because it does not use Shallow Trench Isolation or field oxide in the semiconductor substrate to isolate separate transistors. Instead, a layer of insulating material is formed on the top surface of said substrate, and interconnect trenches are etched in said insulating layer which do not go all the way down to the semiconductor substrate. Contact openings are etched in the insulating layer all the way down to the semiconductor layer. Doped poly-silicon is formed in the contact openings and interconnect trenches and silicide is formed on tops of the poly-silicon. This contact and interconnect structure applies to any integrated transistor. The integrated JFET disclosed herein does not use STI or field oxide and uses junction isolation. A conventional JFET is built in a P-well. The P-well is encapsulated in an N-well which is implanted into the substrate. Separate contacts to the P-well, N-well and substrate are formed as well as to the source, drain and gate so that the device can be isolated by reverse-biasing a PN junction. Operating voltage is restricted to less than 0.7 volts to prevent latching.

    摘要: There is disclosed herein a base and emitter contact structure for a bipolar transistor which is comprised of a polysilicon stripe over an isolation island which stripe extends to a position external to the position of the isolation island and assumes the shape of an emitter contact pad. The emitter contact stripe has a layer of self aligned silicide formed thereover to lower its resistance, and this silicide is doped with both N and P type impurities one of which is selected to have a higher rate of diffusion than the other. A layer of self aligned insulating material is formed over the silicide and polysilicon of the emitter contact stripe. There are anisotropically etched insulating spacers formed on the sides of the emitter contact stripe, and there are silicide base contact stringers formed beside the spacers by anisotropic etching of a layer of doped silicide. A heat drive in step in the process used to make the structure, also disclosed herein, causes the impurities from the two silicide layers to diffuse into the emitter contact polysilicon and into the epitaxially grown silicon in the isolation island. An emitter and a base are and the the attendant base-emitter and base-collector junctions are formed because the faster diffusing impurity overtakes the slower diffusion impurity and passes it to thereby form the base region. The impurities from the base contact stringers also diffuse into the epitaxially grown silicon and their lateral diffusion causes them to link up with the base impurities which have diffused into the epitaxially grown silicon from the silicide over the emitter contact polysilicon.
