    摘要: A method and circuit in which the drive strength of a FinFET transistor can be selectively modified, and in particular can be selectively reduced, by omitting the LDD extension formation in the source and/or in the drain of the FinFET.One application of this approach is to enable differentiation of the drive strengths of transistors in an integrated circuit by applying the technique to some, but not all, of the transistors in the integrated circuit. In particular in a SRAM cell formed from FinFET transistors the application of the technique to the pass-gate transistors, which leads to a reduction of the drive strength of the pass-gate transistors relative to the drive strength of the pull-up and pull-down transistors, results in improved SRAM cell performance.

    摘要: A crystalline semiconductor resonator device comprises two matched resonators which are aligned differently with respect to the crystal structure of the crystalline semiconductor. The resonators each comprise a portion of a material having a different temperature dependency of the Young's modulus to the temperature dependency of the Young's modulus of the crystalline semiconductor material. In this way, the suspension springs for the resonators have different properties, which influence the resonant frequency. The resonant frequency ratios between the first and second resonators at a calibration temperature and an operation temperature are measured. A frequency of one (or both) of the resonators at the operation temperature can then be derived which takes into account the temperature dependency of the one of the resonators.

    摘要: Consistent with an example embodiment according to the invention, a material for the intermediate layer is chosen which can be selectively etched with respect to the dielectric layer. Before the deposition of the first conductor layer, the intermediate layer is removed at the location of the first channel region, and after the deposition of the first conductor layer and the removal thereof outside the first channel region and before the deposition of the second conductor layer, the intermediate layer is removed at the location of the second channel region. Thus, field effect transistors (FETs) are obtained in a simple manner and without damage to their gate dielectric. Preferably, a further intermediate layer is deposited on the intermediate layer which can be selectively etched with respect thereto.
