    Abstract: A multilevel reference generator has a plurality of nonlinear standard resistive elements where each resistive element is biased at a constant level to develop a resultant level. The multilevel reference generator has a plurality of mirror sources. Each mirror source is in communication with the one of the plurality of resistive elements such that each mirror source receives the resultant level from the one standard resistive element and provides a mirrored replication of the resultant level. The multilevel reference generator has a plurality of reference level combining circuits. The reference level combining circuit includes a resultant level summing circuit that additively combines the first and second mirrored replication level and a level scaling circuit to create a scaling of the combined first and second mirrored replication levels to create the reference level.

    Abstract: A semiconductor substrate includes semi-insulating portions beneath openings in a patterned hardmask film formed over a semiconductor substructure to a thickness sufficient to prevent charged particles from passing through the hardmask. The semi-insulating portions include charged particles and may extend deep into the semiconductor substrate and electrically insulate devices formed on opposed sides of the semi-insulating portions. The charged particles may advantageously be protons and further substrate portions covered by the patterned hardmask film are substantially free of the charged particles.

    Abstract: An improved magnetoresistive memory device has a reduced distance between the magnetic memory element and a conductive memory line used for writing to the magnetic memory element. The reduced distance is facilitated by forming the improved magnetoresistive memory device according to a method that includes forming a mask over the magnetoresistive memory element and forming an insulating layer over the mask layer, then removing portions of the insulating layer using a planarization process. A conductive via can then be formed in the mask layer, for example using a damascene process. The conductive memory line can then be formed over the mask layer and conductive via.
