摘要:
Device structures and design structures for a static random access memory. The device structure includes a well of a first conductivity type in a semiconductor layer, first and second deep trench isolation regions in the semiconductor layer that laterally bound a device region in the well, and first and second pluralities of doped regions of a second conductivity type in the first device region. A shallow trench isolation region extends laterally across in the device region to connect the first and second deep trench isolation regions, and is disposed in the device region between the first and second pluralities of doped regions. The shallow trench isolation region extends from the top surface into the semiconductor layer to a first depth such that the well is continuous beneath the shallow trench isolation region. A gate stack controls carrier flow between a pair of the first plurality of doped regions.

A low power maskless inter-well deep trench isolation structure and methods of manufacture such structure are provided. A method includes depositing a plurality of layers over a substrate, and forming a layer over the plurality of layers. The method also includes forming well structures in the substrate, and forming sidewall spacers at opposing sides of the layer. The method further includes forming a self-aligned deep trench in the substrate to below the well structures, by removing the sidewall spacers and portions of the substrate aligned with an opening formed by the removal of the sidewall spacers. The method also includes forming a shallow trench in alignment with the deep trench. The method further includes forming shallow trench isolation structures and deep trench isolation structures by filling the shallow trench and the deep trench with insulator material.

Methods for fabricating dual-depth trench isolation regions for a memory cell. First and second deep trench isolation regions are formed in the semiconductor layer that laterally bound a device region in a well of a first conductivity type in the semiconductor layer. First and second pluralities of doped regions of a second conductivity type are formed in the device region. A shallow trench isolation region is formed that extends laterally across the device region from the first deep trench isolation region to the second deep trench isolation region. The shallow trench isolation region is disposed in the device region between the first and second pluralities of doped regions. The shallow trench isolation region extends into the semiconductor layer to a depth such that the well is continuous beneath the shallow trench isolation region. A gate stack controls carrier flow between a pair of the first plurality of doped regions.

A method patterns pairs of semiconducting fins on an insulator layer and then patterns a linear gate conductor structure over and perpendicular to the fins. Next, the method patterns a mask on the insulator layer adjacent the fins such that sidewalls of the mask are parallel to the fins and are spaced from the fins a predetermined distance. The method performs an angled impurity implant into regions of the fins not protected by the gate conductor structure and the mask. This process forms impurity concentrations within the fins that are asymmetric and that mirror one another in adjacent pairs of fins.

A disposable material layer is first deposited on a graphene layer or a carbon nanotube (CNT). The disposable material layer includes a material that is less inert than graphene or CNT so that a contiguous dielectric material layer can be deposited at a target dielectric thickness without pinholes therein. A gate stack is formed by patterning the contiguous dielectric material layer and a gate conductor layer deposited thereupon. The disposable material layer shields and protects the graphene layer or the CNT during formation of the gate stack. The disposable material layer is then removed by a selective etch, releasing a free-standing gate structure. The free-standing gate structure is collapsed onto the graphene layer or the CNT below at the end of the selective etch so that the bottom surface of the contiguous dielectric material layer contacts an upper surface of the graphene layer or the CNT.
