    摘要: FinFETs in which a swelled material within the fin, typically an oxide of the fin semiconductor, causes strain that significantly increases charge carrier mobility within the FinFET channel. The concept can be applied to either p-type or n-type FinFETs. For p-type FinFETs the swelled material is positioned underneath the source and drain regions. For n-type FinFETs the swelled material is positioned underneath the channel region. The swelled material can be used with or without strain-inducing epitaxy on the source and drain areas and can provide greater strain than is achievable by strain-inducing epitaxy alone.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a semiconductor device and a manufacturing method, and more particularly to a MIM dual capacitor structure with an increased capacitance per unit area in a semiconductor structure. Without using additional mask layers, a second parallel plate capacitor can be formed over a first parallel plate capacitor, and both capacitors share a common capacitor plate. The two parallel plate capacitors can be connected in parallel to increase the capacitance per unit area.

    摘要: An electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection circuit is coupled between first and second power supply buses. The ESD protection circuit includes a detection circuit; a pull-up circuit, coupled to the detection circuit, comprising at least a first n-type transistor; a pull-down circuit, coupled to the pull-up circuit, comprising at least a second n-type transistor; and a bypass circuit, coupled to the pull-up and pull-down circuits, wherein the detection circuit is configured to detect whether an ESD event is present on either the first or the second bus so as to cause the pull-up and pull-down circuits to selectively enable the bypass circuit for providing a discharging path between the first and second power supply buses.
