Abstract: Structures for an electrostatic discharge protection device and methods of forming same. The structure comprises a first well and a second well in the semiconductor substrate. The first and second wells have a first conductivity type. The structure further comprises a third well and a fourth well in the semiconductor substrate. The third and fourth wells have a second conductivity type, the third well includes a portion that overlaps with the first well, and the fourth well includes a portion that overlaps with the second well.

Abstract: A semiconductor structure includes a semiconductor device (e.g., an e-fuse or photonic device) and a metallic heating element adjacent thereto. The heating element has a lower portion within a middle of the line (MOL) dielectric layer adjacent to the semiconductor device and an upper portion with a tapered top end that extends into a back end of the line (BEOL) dielectric layer. A method of forming the semiconductor structure includes forming a cavity such that it has both a lower section, which extends from a top surface of a MOL dielectric layer downward toward a semiconductor device, and an upper section, which extends from the top surface of the MOL dielectric layer upward and which is capped by an area of a BEOL dielectric layer having a concave bottom surface. A metallic fill material can then be deposited into the cavity (e.g., through via openings) to form the heating element.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to structures in semiconductor devices and methods of forming the same. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) devices having a silicided polysilicon layer. The present disclosure may provide an active region above a substrate, source and drain electrodes in contact with the active region, a gate above the active region, the gate being laterally between the source and drain electrodes, a polysilicon layer above the substrate, and a silicide layer on the polysilicon layer. The active region includes at least two material layers with different band gaps. The polysilicon layer may be configured as an electronic fuse, a resistor, or a diode.
