    摘要: Discloses are CMOS circuit designs that combine MTCMOS and hybrid orientation technology to achieve the dual objectives of high performance and low standby leakage power. The invention utilizes novel combinations of a thick-oxide high-VTH PFET header with various gate- and body-biased schemes in HOT technology to significantly reduce the performance penalty associated with conventional PFET headers. A first embodiment of the invention provides a HOT-B high-VTH thick oxide bulk PFET header scheme. This header scheme can be expanded by application of a positive gate bias VPOS (VPOS>VDD) to the HOT-B PFET header during standby mode and a negative gate bias VNEG (VNEG

    摘要: A method and apparatus are provided for tri-state dynamic body charge modulation for sensing devices in silicon-on-insulator (SOI) complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) applications. A sense amplifier includes a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) field effect transistor. A tri-state body charge modulation circuit is coupled to a body of the silicon-on-insulator (SOI) field effect transistor. The body charge modulation circuit provides a high body bias preparatory state; a floating body state and a low body bias stand-by state enabling high performance operation, good matching characteristics, and low stand-by leakage suitable for low-power applications. The tri-state body charge modulation circuit includes a P-channel field effect transistor (PFET) and an N-channel field effect transistor (NFET) connected between a high voltage potential and ground. The junction of the series connected PFET and NFET is coupled to the SOI FET body for providing a charging path to a high power supply voltage rail and a discharging path to ground and a high impedance state.

Each of the first and second inverters includes a respective pair of transistors, and has a respective data node. Each of a first and a second of the access transistors has a source, a drain, a front gate, and a back gate. The first access transistor is coupled to the first bit line, and the second access transistor is coupled to the first complement bit line. The back gate of the first access transistor is coupled to the data node of the first inverter; and the back gate of the second access transistor is coupled to the data node of the second inverter. This increases the difference between the threshold voltages of the first and second access transistors.

    摘要: The invention relates to a bipolar transistor structure which includes a layer of semiconductor material having a single crystal raised base, a single crystal or polycrystalline emitter and adjacent polycrystalline regions which provide an electrical connection to the emitter. The invention also relates to the method of fabricating such a structure and includes the step of depositing a conformal layer of semiconductor material of one conductivity type over a region of opposite conductivity and over insulation such that single crystal and polycrystalline regions form over single crystal material and insulation, respectively. In a subsequent step, a layer of opposite conductivity type semiconductor material is deposited on the first layer forming single crystal or polycrystalline material over single crystal and polycrystalline material over polycrystalline. Then, in a final step, the structure is subjected to an out-diffusion step which simultaneously forms a single crystal emitter region of opposite conductivity type, a p-n junction in the one conductivity type single crystal region and regions of opposite conductivity type which act as an interconnection to the emitter region.

    摘要: A tri-state Schmitt trigger inverting device having multiple tri-state controller switching devices between a conventional voltage mode Schmitt trigger its voltage supply rails. When an enabling signal to the tri-state controller switching devices is set to a first level, the tri-state Schmitt trigger functions as a standard logic inverter. When a complementary enabling signal is received at the tri-state controller switching devices, the connections to the high voltage rail and low voltage rail of the tri-state Schmitt trigger are turned off, and the output of the tri-state Schmitt trigger is a high impedance. Thus, the device is a single stage tri-state Schmitt inverter having optimal hysteresis characteristics with minimal power consumption.
