Abstract: An electrical fuse (e-fuse) includes a fuse link including a silicided semiconductor layer over a dielectric layer covering a gate conductor. The silicided semiconductor layer is non-planar and extends orthogonally over the gate conductor. A first terminal is electrically coupled to a first end of the fuse link, and a second terminal is electrically coupled to a second end of the fuse link. The fuse link may be formed in the same layer as an intrinsic and/or extrinsic base of a bipolar transistor. The gate conductor may control a current source for programming the e-fuse. The e-fuse reduces the footprint and the required programming energy compared to conventional e-fuses.

Abstract: Disclosed is a structure including a semiconductor layer with a device area and, within the device area, a monocrystalline portion and polycrystalline portion(s) that extend through the monocrystalline portion. The structure includes an active device including a device component, which is in device area and which includes polycrystalline portion(s). For example, the device can be a field effect transistor (FET) (e.g., a simple FET or a multi-finger FET for a low noise amplifier or RF switch) with at least one source/drain region, which is in the device area and which includes at least one polycrystalline portion that extends through the monocrystalline portion. The embodiments can vary with regard to the type of structure (e.g., bulk or SOI), with regard to the type of device therein, and also with regard to the number, size, shape, location, orientation, etc. of the polycrystalline portion(s). Also disclosed is a method for forming the structure.

Abstract: A structure includes a field effect transistor (FET) stack including a plurality of transistors over a buried insulator layer. A polysilicon isolation region is in a substrate below the FET stack and the buried insulator layer. A resistor network is in the polysilicon isolation region, the resistor network having a different resistivity than the polysilicon isolation region. The resistor network may include a resistive wire having a first width and a resistive pad within the resistive wire under each FET in the FET stack. Each resistive pad has a second width larger than the first width of the resistive wire. A length of the resistive wire is different aside each resistive pad to adjust a threshold voltage of an adjacent FET in the FET stack to a predetermined value to compensate for non-linear voltage distribution between an input and an output of the FET stack.

Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure provide a method, including forming a shallow trench isolation (STI) in a substrate. The method further includes doping the substrate with a noble dopant, thereby forming a disordered crystallographic layer under the STI. The method also includes converting the disordered crystallographic layer to a doped buried polysilicon layer under the STI and a high resistivity (HR) polysilicon layer under the doped buried polysilicon layer. The method includes forming a pair of contacts operatively coupled in a spaced manner to the doped buried polysilicon layer.

Abstract: The disclosure provides a method to authenticate an integrated circuit (IC) structure. The method may include forming a first authentication film (AF) material within the IC structure. A composition of the first AF material is different from an adjacent material within the IC structure. The method includes converting the first AF material into a void within the IC structure. Additionally, the method includes creating an authentication map of the IC structure to include a location of the void in the IC structure for authentication of the IC structure.

Abstract: A resistor includes at least one polysilicon resistor element in a semiconductor substrate with each polysilicon resistor element having a continuous U-shape with a continuous lateral bottom. The resistor may include an insulator within a valley of the U-shape of each polysilicon resistor element. A plurality of polysilicon resistor elements can be sequentially interconnected to create a serpentine polysilicon resistor. The resistor may also include a dopant-including high resistivity (HR) polysilicon layer thereunder to provide electrical isolation from, and better thermal conduction to, for example, a base semiconductor substrate. The resistor can be used in an SOI substrate. A related method is also disclosed.
