摘要:
A method of reducing contact resistance on a silicon-on-insulator includes exposing sidewalls and a portion of a top surface of a source/drain region of the device, forming a porous silicon layer within a surface of the source/drain region, implanting dopants in the source/drain region, and forming a silicide layer over the source/drain region. The porous silicon layer is formed by forming a layer of p+ doping on the exposed sidewalls and portion of the top surface of the source/drain region, forming a nitride liner over the device, including the source/drain region and the layer of p+ doping, forming a planarized resist over the nitride liner, recessing the planarized resist and etching the nitride liner to expose portions of the source/drain region, and forming the porous silicon layer on the exposed portions of the source drain region.

A structure. The structure includes: a substrate, a first electrode in the substrate, first dielectric layer above both the substrate and the first electrode, a second dielectric layer above the first dielectric layer, and a fuse element buried in the first dielectric layer. The first electrode includes a first electrically conductive material. A top surface of the first dielectric layer is further from a top surface of the first electrode than is any other surface of the first dielectric layer. The first dielectric layer includes a first dielectric material and a second dielectric material. A bottom surface of the second dielectric layer is in direct physical contact with the top surface of the first dielectric layer. The second dielectric layer includes the second dielectric material.

Design structure embodied in a machine readable medium for designing, manufacturing, or testing a design. The design structure includes semiconductor device structures characterized by reduced junction capacitance and drain induced barrier lowering. The semiconductor device structure of the design structure includes a semiconductor layer and a dielectric layer disposed between the semiconductor layer and the substrate. The dielectric layer includes a first dielectric region with a first dielectric constant and a second dielectric region with a second dielectric constant that is greater than the first dielectric constant.

An apparatus is provided for implementing an enhanced hand shake protocol for microelectronic communication systems. A transmitter and a receiver is coupled together by a transmission link. The transmitter receives an idle input. The idle input is activated when the transmitter is not transmitting data and the transmitter applies a first common 10 mode level to the receiving unit. The idle input is deactivated when the transmitter is ready to transmit data and the transmitter raises the common mode level to the receiving unit. Responsive to the receiver detecting the common mode level up-movement, then the receiver receives the transmitted data signals. After the desired data has been sent, the 15 transmitter terminates communications, drops the common mode level with the idle input being activated.

Design structure embodied in a machine readable medium for designing, manufacturing, or testing a design. The design structure includes an interconnect structure with a liner formed on roughened dielectric material in an insulating layer and a conformal liner repair layer bridging that breaches in the liner. The conformal liner repair layer is formed of a conductive material, such as a cobalt-containing material. The conformal liner repair layer may be particularly useful for repairing discontinuities in a conductive liner disposed on roughened dielectric material bordering the trenches and vias of damascene interconnect structures.

Embodiments of the invention generally relate to methods, systems and design structures for semiconductor devices and more specifically to forming partially silicided and fully silicided structures. Fabricating the partially silicided and fully silicided structures may involve creating one or more gate stacks. A polysilicon layer of a first gate stack may be exposed and a first metal layer may be deposited thereon to create a partially silicided structure. Thereafter, a polysilicon layer of a second gate stack may be exposed and a second metal layer may be deposited thereon to form a fully silicided structure. In some embodiments, the polysilicon layers of one or more gate stacks may not be exposed, and resistors may be formed with the unsilicided polysilicon layers.
