Abstract: Disclosed is a semiconductor structure including a substrate with a first type conductivity (e.g., a P-silicon substrate); a deep well region within the substrate and having a second type conductivity (e.g., a deep Nwell); alternating stripes of first and second well regions (e.g., of Pwells and Nwells with each Pwell positioned laterally between and abutting two Nwells) within the substrate above and traversing the deep well region; and an isolation region (e.g., an Nwell-type isolation region) dividing a first well region (e.g., a Pwell) into sections. Since the sectioned first well region has the first type conductivity and since the isolation region, the deep well region below, and the adjacent well regions on either side have the second type conductivity, the different sections of the sectioned well region are electrically isolated and devices formed on an insulator layer above the different sections can be subjected to different back-biasing conditions.

Abstract: Disclosed are memory structure embodiments including a memory cell and, particularly, an eight-transistor (8T) static random access memory (SRAM) cell with high device density and symmetry. In the 8T SRAM cell, an isolation region is positioned laterally between two semiconductor bodies. Four gate structures traverse the semiconductor bodies. Four p-type transistors, including two p-type pass-gate transistors and two pull-up transistors between the p-type pass-gate transistors, are on one semiconductor body. Four n-type transistors, including two n-type pass-gate transistors and two pull-down transistors between the n-type pass-gate transistors, are on the other. Adjacent p-type and n-type transistors on the different semiconductor bodies share a gate structure. Various interconnects (including, but not limited to, silicide bridges and/or contact straps) provide the internal and electrical connections required for making the 8T SRAM cell operational and for incorporating the 8T SRAM cell into an array of such cells.

Abstract: Disclosed is an illustrative bit cell that includes a first inverter circuit that includes a first input node and a first output node and a second inverter circuit that includes a second input node and a second output node, wherein the first output node is coupled to the second input node and the second output node is coupled to the first input node. The bit cell also includes a first extension field effect transistor that includes a first gate structure, a first cell-internal S/D region and a first cell boundary node S/D region, wherein first cell-internal S/D region electrically terminates within the cell boundary. The first gate structure is electrically coupled to one of the first or second input nodes and it is also shorted to the first cell-internal S/D region.

Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) structure, including a semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) substrate, the SOI substrate including a buried insulator layer over a base semiconductor layer, and a semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) layer over the buried insulator layer. The IC structure further includes a gate over a gate dielectric layer over the SOI layer. The IC structure includes an n-type metal-oxide semiconductor (n-MOS) capacitor. The n-MOS capacitor includes an n-well under the buried insulator layer, and an n-type semiconductor adjacent a first side of the gate. The IC structure also includes a p-type metal-oxide semiconductor (p-MOS) capacitor adjacent the n-MOS capacitor and includes a p-well adjacent the n-well and a p-type semiconductor adjacent a second side of the gate. The gate is electrically connected only to the n-MOS capacitor and the p-MOS capacitor.

Abstract: Structures for an extended-drain field-effect transistor and methods of forming an extended-drain field-effect transistor. A source region is coupled to a semiconductor layer, a drain region is coupled to the semiconductor layer, and a first gate structure is positioned over a channel region of the semiconductor layer. An extended drain region is positioned between the channel region and the drain region. The extended drain region includes a portion of the semiconductor layer between the first gate structure and the drain region. A second gate structure is arranged over the portion of the semiconductor layer.
