    摘要: A field effect transistor is formed having wrap-around, vertically-aligned, dual gate electrodes. Starting with a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) structure having a buried silicon island, a vertical reference edge is defined, by creating a cavity within the SOI structure, and used during two etch-back steps that can be reliably performed. The first etch-back removes a portion of an oxide layer for a first distance over which a gate conductor material is then applied. The second etch-back removes a portion of the gate conductor material for a second distance. The difference between the first and second distances defines the gate length of the eventual device. After stripping away the oxide layers, a vertical gate electrode is revealed that surrounds the buried silicon island on all four side surfaces.

    摘要: A method for forming interlevel dielectric layers in multilevel interconnect structures using air as the constituent low-k dielectric material that is compatible with damascene processes without introducing additional process steps. The conductive features characteristic of the damascene process are formed by standard lithographic and etch processes in the mandrel material for each level of the interconnect structure. The conductive features in each level are surrounded by the mandrel material. After all levels of the interconnect structure are formed, a passageway is provided to the mandrel material. An isotropic etchant is introduced through the passageway that selectively etches and removes the mandrel material. The spaces formerly occupied by the mandrel material in the levels of the interconnect structure are filled by air, which operates as a low-k dielectric material.

    摘要: A memory gain cell for a memory circuit, a memory circuit formed from multiple memory gain cells, and methods of fabricating such memory gain cells and memory circuits. The memory gain cell includes a storage device capable of holding a stored electrical charge, a write device, and a read device. The read device includes a fin of semiconducting material, electrically-isolated first and second gate electrodes flanking the fin, and a source and drain formed in the fin adjacent to the first and the second gate electrodes. The first gate electrode is electrically coupled with the storage device. The first and second gate electrodes are operative for gating a region of the fin defined between the source and the drain to thereby regulate a current flowing from the source to the drain. When gated, the magnitude of the current is dependent upon the electrical charge stored by the storage device.
