    摘要: An anti-fuse structure that can be programmed at low voltage and current and which potentially consumes very little chip spaces and can be formed interstitially between elements spaced by a minimum lithographic feature size is formed on a composite substrate such as a silicon-on-insulator wafer by etching a contact through an insulator to a support semiconductor layer, preferably in combination with formation of a capacitor-like structure reaching to or into the support layer. The anti-fuse may be programmed either by the selected location of conductor formation and/or damaging a dielectric of the capacitor-like structure. An insulating collar is used to surround a portion of either the conductor or the capacitor-like structure to confine damage to the desired location. Heating effects voltage and noise due to programming currents are effectively isolated to the bulk silicon layer, permitting programming during normal operation of the device. Thus the potential for self-repair without interruption of operation is realized.

    摘要: There is disclosed herein a unique fabrication sequence and the structure of a vertical silicon on insulator (SOI) bipolar transistor integrated into a typical DRAM trench process sequence. A DRAM array utilizing an NFET allows for an integrated bipolar NPN sequence. Similarly, a vertical bipolar PNP device is implemented by changing the array transistor to a PFET. Particularly, a BICMOS device is fabricated in SOI. The bipolar emitter contacts and CMOS diffusion contacts are formed simultaneously of polysilicon plugs. The CMOS diffusion contact is the plug contact from bitline to storage node of a memory cell.

    摘要: A method for forming mixed high voltage/low voltage (HV/LV) transistors for CMOS devices is disclosed. In an exemplary embodiment, depletion of the gate conductor is controlled by leaving a fixed region of the gate conductor intrinsic, or lightly doped, thus separating the heavily doped low resistivity portion of the electrode with an intrinsic region by use of a conducting dopant barrier. The barrier is conductive in nature, but acts as a well-controlled diffusion barrier, stopping the “fast” diffusion which normally takes place in polysilicon, and eliminating diffusion between the conductors. Thereby, the device performance may be precisely predicted by carefully controlling the gate conductor thickness.

    摘要: A first one time, voltage programmable logic element is provided in a semiconductor substrate of first conductivity type that comprises a first layer beneath a surface of the substrate, the first layer having a second conductivity type; and a trench formed through the surface and passing through the first layer. The trench comprises an interior surface, a dielectric material lining the interior surface and a conductive material filling the lined trench. The first logic element is configured so that a predetermined voltage or higher applied between the conductive material and the first layer causes a breakdown within a region of the trench. A second one time, voltage programmable logic element is provided in a semiconductor substrate of first conductivity type that comprises a first layer formed in a surface of the substrate, the first layer having a second conductivity type; and a trench formed through the surface and passing through the first layer. The trench comprises an interior surface, a first dielectric material lining the interior surface and a second dielectric material filling the lined trench. The second logic element further comprises a dielectric layer formed over a portion of the first layer and contacting the first dielectric material lining the trench at a merge location; and an electrode extending over a portion of both the dielectric layer and the filled trench. The second logic element is configured so that a predetermined voltage or higher applied between the electrode and the first layer causes a breakdown near the merge location.

    摘要: A differential receiver for sensing small input voltage swings by using a built in reference voltage obtained by a difference in threshold voltage between a differential pair of closely spaced transistors. The difference in threshold voltage can be produced by different values of ion implantation of the gates of the transistor pair with the same material, or by dosages using different materials. The difference in threshold voltage can also be obtained by using different transistor channel lengths. The threshold voltages can also be modulated by the control of the transistor substrate voltages using a voltage control substrate means.

    摘要: A processor with a memory send/received control circuit including a bus drive circuit and a detector circuit connected via control bus line to the control input of the memory. A data input line, or output line, or data input/output line is connected between the processor and the memory. A transmission line stub having a length that is incrementally variable is connected to the memory control input side of the control line 14. The impedance Z0 of the transmission line stub is equal to that of the control line and is open circuited at the end which results in voltage doubling to achieve high speed synchronization between control signals and data signals and to ensure valid data at high clock rates.
