    摘要: Circuit structures, such as inverters and static random access memories, and fabrication methods thereof are presented. The circuit structures include, for instance: a first transistor, the first transistor having a first channel region disposed above an isolation region; and a second transistor, the second transistor having a second channel region, the second channel region being laterally adjacent to the first channel region of the first transistor and vertically spaced apart therefrom by the isolation region thereof. In one embodiment, the first channel region and the isolation region of the first transistor are disposed above a substrate, and the substrate includes the second channel region of the second transistor. In another embodiment, the first transistor includes a fin structure extending from the substrate, and an upper portion of the fin structure includes the first channel region and a lower portion of the fin structure includes the isolation region.

    摘要: A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate, an insulating layer on a top surface of the substrate, and a first semiconductor transistor on the insulating layer, the transistor including an active region with a source region, a drain region, a channel region between the source and drain regions and a gate structure over the channel region, the gate structure extending beyond the transistor to an adjacent area. An outer well is included in the substrate, an inner well of an opposite type as the outer well situated within the outer well and under the active region and adjacent area, and a contact for the inner well in the adjacent area, the contact surrounding the gate structure. Operating the device includes applying a variable voltage at the contact for the inner well, a threshold voltage for the first transistor being altered by the variable voltage. The inner well and gate may be exposed and contacts created therefor together.

    摘要: Methods of forming doped transition regions of transistor structures are provided herein. The methods include, for instance: providing a first semiconductor material including a dopant over a source/drain region of the transistor structure; providing a second semiconductor material including the dopant over the first semiconductor material, where the second semiconductor material is different from the first semiconductor material; and, where providing the second semiconductor material is performed at a temperature sufficient to diffuse the dopant from the first semiconductor material through the source/drain region into a portion of a channel region of the transistor structure. The portion of the channel region into which the dopant from the first semiconductor material diffuses forms the doped transition region.
