    摘要: A digital logic storage structure includes cross coupled first and second complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) inverters formed on a semiconductor substrate, the CMOS inverters including a first storage node and a second storage node that is the logical complement of the first storage node; both of the first and second storage nodes each selectively coupled to a deep trench capacitor through a switching transistor, with the switching transistors controlled by a common capacitance switch line coupled to gate conductors thereof; wherein, in a first mode of operation, the switching transistors are rendered nonconductive so as to isolate the deep trench capacitors from the inverter storage nodes and, in a second mode of operation, the switching transistors are rendered conductive so as to couple the deep trench capacitors to their respective storage nodes, thereby providing increased resistance of the storage nodes to single event upsets (SEUs).

    摘要: Novel semiconductor structures and methods are disclosed for forming a buried recombination layer underneath the bulk portion of a hybrid orientation technology by implanting at least one recombination center generating element to reduce single event upset rates in CMOS devices thereabove. The crystalline defects in the buried recombination layer caused by the recombination center generating elements are not healed even after a high temperature anneal and serve as recombination centers where holes and electrons generated by ionizing radiation are collected by. Multiple buried recombination layers may be formed. Optionally, one such layer may be biased with a positive voltage to prevent latchup by collecting electrons.
