摘要:
An ultraviolet light absorbent silicon oxynitride layer overlies a memory cell including a pair of source/drains, a gate insulator, a floating gate, a dielectric layer, and a control gate. A conductor is disposed through the silicon oxynitride layer for electrical connection to the control gate, and another conductor is disposed through the silicon oxynitride layer for electrical connection to a source/drain.

Some embodiments of the present invention comprise an off-set gear assembly for use in producing cushioning material and methods for using the same. Each gear of the off-set gear assembly has at least two sections. Each section includes a set of gear teeth. The gear teeth of the two sections can be rotationally off-set and this can result in the production of cushioning material with staggered ridges. Some embodiments of the present invention also comprising cushioning material with staggered ridges.

An integrated circuit structure includes providing a semiconductor substrate and forming a trench therein. A thyristor is formed around the trench and within the semiconductor substrate. The thyristor has at least four layers with three P-N junctions therebetween. A gate for the thyristor is formed within the trench. An access transistor is formed on the semiconductor substrate. An interconnect is formed between the thyristor and the access transistor.

A method for forming selective P type and N type gates is described. A gate oxide layer is grown overlying a semiconductor substrate. A polysilicon layer is deposited overlying the gate oxide layer. Germanium ions are implanted into a portion of the polysilicon layer not covered by a mask to form a polysilicon-germanium layer. The polysilicon layer and the polysilicon-germanium layer are patterned to form NMOS polysilicon gates and PMOS polysilicon-germanium gates. In an alternative, nitrogen ions are implanted into the polysilicon-germanium layer and the gates are annealed after patterning to redistribute the germanium ions throughout the polysilicon-germanium layer. In a second alternative, germanium ions are implanted into a first thin polysilicon layer, then a second polysilicon layer is deposited to achieve the total polysilicon layer thickness before patterning the gates.

An integrated circuit (IC) utilizes a strained layer. The substrate can utilize trenches in a base layer to induce stress in a layer. The trenches define pillars on a back side of a bulk substrate or base layer of a semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) wafer.

Planarized STI with minimized topography is formed by selectively etching back the dielectric trench fill with respect to the polish stop film prior to removing the polish stop film. Embodiments include etching back a silicon oxide trench filled to a depth of about 200 Å to about 1,500 Å, and then stripping a silicon nitride polish stop layer leaving a substantially planarized surface, thereby improving the accuracy of subsequent gate electrode patterning and reducing stringers.

A method of forming an integrated circuit and a structure therefore is provided. A gate dielectric is formed on a semiconductor substrate, and a gate is formed over the gate dielectric. Shallow source/drain junctions are formed in the semiconductor substrate. A sidewall spacer is formed around the gate. Deep source/drain junctions are formed in the semiconductor substrate using the sidewall spacer. A siliciding spacer is formed over the sidewall spacer after forming the shallow and deep source/drain junctions. A silicide is formed on the deep source/drain junctions adjacent the siliciding spacer, and a dielectric layer is deposited above the semiconductor substrate. Contacts are then formed in the dielectric layer to the silicide.
