    摘要: A transistor includes a bulk semiconductor substrate, and a first source/drain region in the bulk semiconductor substrate separated from a second source/drain region in the bulk semiconductor substrate by a channel region. A first air gap is defined in the bulk semiconductor substrate under the first source/drain region, and a second air gap is defined in the bulk semiconductor substrate under the second source/drain region. A gate is over the channel region. A spacing between the first air gap and the second air gap is greater than or equal to a length of the channel region such that the first and second air gaps are not under the channel region. The air gaps may have a rectangular cross-sectional shape. The air gaps reduce off capacitance of the bulk semiconductor structure to near semiconductor-on-insulator levels without the disadvantages of an air gap under the channel region.

    摘要: An integrated circuit (IC) structure includes an active device over a bulk semiconductor substrate, and an isolation structure around the active device in the bulk semiconductor substrate. The active device includes a semiconductor layer having a center region, a first end region laterally spaced from the center region by a first trench isolation, a second end region laterally spaced from the center region by a second trench isolation, a gate over the center region, and a source/drain region in each of the first and second end regions. The isolation structure includes: a polycrystalline isolation layer under the active device, a third trench isolation around the active device, and a porous semiconductor layer between the first trench isolation and the polycrystalline isolation layer and between the second trench isolation and the polycrystalline isolation layer.

    摘要: A transistor includes a bulk semiconductor substrate, and first and second raised source/drain regions above the bulk semiconductor substrate. A gate is between the first and second raised source/drain regions. A first dielectric section is beneath the first raised source/drain region in the bulk semiconductor substrate, and a second dielectric section is beneath the second raised source/drain region in the bulk semiconductor substrate. A first air gap is defined in at least the first dielectric section under the first raised source/drain region, and a second air gap is defined in at least the second dielectric section under the second raised source/drain region. The air gaps reduce off capacitance of the bulk semiconductor structure to near semiconductor-on-insulator levels without the disadvantages of an air gap under the channel region.
