摘要:
A gated semiconductor device is provided, in which the body has a first dimension extending in a lateral direction parallel to a major surface of a substrate, and second dimension extending in a direction at least substantially vertical and at least substantially perpendicular to the major surface, the body having a first side and a second side opposite the first side. The gated semiconductor device includes a first gate overlying the first side, and having a first gate length in the lateral direction. The gated semiconductor device further includes a second gate overlying the second side, the second gate having a second gate length in the lateral direction which is different from, and preferably shorter than the first gate length. In one embodiment, the first gate and the second gate being electrically isolated from each other. In another embodiment the first gate consists essentially of polycrystalline silicon germanium and the second gate consists essentially of polysilicon.

A method is provided of making a gated semiconductor device. Such method can include patterning a single-crystal semiconductor region of a substrate to extend in a lateral direction parallel to a major surface of a substrate and to extend in a direction at least substantially vertical and at least substantially perpendicular to the major surface, the semiconductor region having a first side and a second side opposite, e.g., remote from the first side. A first gate may be formed overlying the first side, the first gate having a first gate length in the lateral direction. A second gate may be formed overlying the second side, the second gate having a second gate length in the lateral direction which is different from the first gate length. In one embodiment, the second gate length may be shorter than the first gate length. In one embodiment, the first gate may consist essentially of polycrystalline silicon germanium and the second gate may consist essentially of polysilicon.

A field effect transistor (FET), integrated circuit (IC) chip including the FETs and a method of forming the FETS. Each FET includes a device gate along one side of a semiconductor (e.g., silicon) fin and a back bias gate along an opposite of the fin. Back bias gate dielectric differs from the device gate dielectric either in its material and/or thickness. Device thresholds can be adjusted by adjusting back bias gate voltage.

A non-volatile storage cell in a Fin Field Effect Transistor (FinFET) and a method of forming an Integrated Circuit (IC) chip including the non-volatile storage cell. Each FET includes a control gate along one side of a semiconductor (e.g., silicon) fin, a floating gate along an opposite of the fin and a program gate alongside the floating gate. Control gate device thresholds are adjusted by adjusting charge on the floating gate.

The structure and method of forming a notched gate MOSFET disclosed herein addresses such problems as device reliability. A gate dielectric (e.g. gate oxide) is formed on the surface of an active area on the semiconductor substrate, preferably defined by an isolation trench region. A layer of polysilicon is then deposited on the gate dielectric. This step is followed by depositing a layer of silicon germanium) (SiGe). The sidewalls of the polysilicon layer are then laterally etched, selective to the SiGe layer to create a notched gate conductor structure, with the SiGe layer being broader than the underlying polysilicon layer. Sidewall spacers are preferably formed on sidewalls of the SiGe layer and the polysilicon layer. A silicide layer is preferably formed as a self-aligned silicide from a polysilicon layer deposited over the SiGe layer, to reduce resistance of the gate conductor. One or more other processing steps (e.g. source and drain implants, extension implants, and pocket lightly doped drain (LDD) implants), gate conductor stack doping, and silicidation are preferably performed in completing the transistor.

A semiconductor body has a first portion, a second portion, and an active area located between the first portion and the second portion. The first portion and the second portion are a shallow trench isolation region having an exposed surface extending above the surface of the active area. A first ion implantation is performed at a first angle such that a first shaded area defined by the exposed surface of the first portion and the first angle is exposed to fewer ions than a first unshaded area. A second ion implantation is performed at a second angle such that a second shaded area defined by the exposed surface of the second portion and the second angle is exposed to fewer ions than a second unshaded area.
