摘要： A field effect transistor (FET) has underlap regions adjacent to the channel doping region. The underlap regions have very low dopant concentrations of less than 1×1017/cc or 5×1016/cc and so tend to have a high resistance. The underlap regions reduce overlap capacitance and thereby increase switching speed. High resistance of the underlap regions is not problematic at subthreshold voltages because the channel doping region also has a high resistance at subthreshold voltages. Consequently, the present FET has low capacitance and high speed and is particularly well suited for operation in the subthreshold regime.

摘要： Disclosed are embodiments of a structure that comprises a first device, having multiple FETs, and a second device, having at least one FET. Sections of a first portion of a semiconductor layer below the first device are doped and contacted to form back gates. A second portion of the semiconductor layer below the second device remains un-doped and un-contacted and, thus, functions as an insulator. Despite the performance degradation of the first device due to back gate capacitance, the back gates result in a net gain for devices such as, SRAM cells, which require precise Vt control. Contrarily, despite marginal Vt control in the second device due to the absence of back gates, the lack of capacitance loading and the added insulation result in a net gain for high performance devices such as, logic circuits.

摘要： In order to reduce power dissipation requirements, obtain full potential transistor performance and avoid power dissipation limitations on transistor performance in high density integrated circuits, transistors are operated in a sub-threshold (sub-Vth) or a near sub-Vth voltage regime (generally about 0.2 volts rather than a super-Vth regime of about 1.2 volts or higher) and optimized for such operation, particularly through simplification of the transistor structure, since intrinsic channel resistance is dominant in sub-Vth operating voltage regimes. Such simplifications include an underlap or recess of the source and drain regions from the gate which avoids overlap capacitance to partially recover loss of switching speed otherwise caused by low voltage operation, an ultra-thin gate structure having a thickness of 500 Å or less which also simplifies forming connections to the transistor and an avoidance of silicidation or alloy formation in the source, drain and/or gate of transistors.

摘要： Disclosed are embodiments a technique for inducing strain into the polysilicon gate of a non-planar FET (e.g., a finFET or trigate FET) in order to impart a similar strain on the FET channel region, while simultaneously protecting the source/drain regions of the semiconductor fin. Specifically, a protective cap layer is formed above the source/drain regions of the fin in order to protect those regions during a subsequent amporphization ion implantation process. The fin is further protected, during this implantation process, because the ion beam is directed towards the gate in a plane that is parallel to the fin and tilted from the vertical axis. Thus, amorphization of the fin and damage to the fin are limited. Following the implantation process and the formation of a straining layer, a recrystallization anneal is performed so that the strain of the straining layer is ‘memorized’ in the polysilicon gate.

摘要： A system and method for providing a driver for a multi-voltage island/core architecture of an integrated circuit chip are provided. A complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) inverter is built with a high threshold voltage p-channel field-effect transistor (hi-Vt PFET) and a regular threshold voltage n-channel field-effect transistor (NFET), which uses the maximum positive voltage supply (Vdd) on the chip. The threshold voltage of the hi-Vt PFET is determined based on the maximum Vdd, the Vdd of the Voltage island/core that drives the CMOS inverter, and a subthreshold leakage current requirement of the hi-Vt PFET.

摘要： Disclosed are embodiments of a trigate field effect transistor that comprises a fin-shaped semiconductor body with a channel region and source/drain regions on either side of the channel region. Thick gate dielectric layers separate the top surface and opposing sidewalls of the channel region from the gate conductor in order to suppress conductivity in the channel planes. A thin gate dielectric layer separates the upper corners of the channel region from the gate conductor in order to optimize conductivity in the channel corners. To further emphasize the current flow in the channel corners, the source/drain regions can be formed in the upper corners of the semiconductor body alone. Alternatively, source/drain extension regions can be formed only in the upper corners of the semiconductor body adjacent to the gate conductor and deep source/drain diffusion regions can be formed in the ends of the semiconductor body.

摘要： An integrated circuit semiconductor memory device (100) has a first dielectric layer (116) characterized as the BOX layer absent from a portion (130) of the substrate (112) under the gate of a storage transistor to increase the gate-to-substrate capacitance and thereby reduce the soft error rate. A second dielectric layer (132) having a property different from the first dielectric layer at least partly covers that portion (130) of the substrate. The device may be a FinFET device including a fin (122) and a gate dielectric layer (124, 126) between the gate and the fin, with the second dielectric layer having less leakage than the gate dielectric layer.

The structure further includes multiple front gates and back gates, each of which is sandwiched between two adjacent fin regions such that the front gates and back gates are alternating (i.e., one front gate then one back gate and then one front gate, and so on). The widths of the front gates are greater than the widths of the back gates. The capacitances of between the front gates and the S/D regions are smaller than the capacitances of between the back gates and the S/D regions. The distances between the front gates and the S/D regions are greater than the distances between the back gates and the S/D regions.
