Abstract:
One embodiment provides an integrated circuit including a first non-planar structure and a waveguide configured to provide electromagnetic waves to the first non-planar structure. The first non-planar structure provides a first signal in response to at least some of the electromagnetic waves.
Abstract:
Integrated circuit arrangement comprising a field effect transistor, especially a tunnel field effect transistor. An explanation is given of, inter alia, tunnel field effect transistors having a thicker gate dielectric in comparison with other transistors on the same integrated circuit arrangement. As an alternative or in addition, said tunnel field effect transistors have gate regions at mutually remote sides of a channel forming region or an interface between the connection regions of the tunnel field effect transistor.
Abstract:
Methods of patterning features, methods of manufacturing semiconductor devices, and semiconductor devices are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method of patterning a feature includes forming a first portion of the feature in a first material layer. A second portion of the feature is formed in the first material layer, and a third portion of the feature is formed in a second material layer.
Abstract:
Semiconductor devices and methods of manufacture thereof are disclosed. A complimentary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) device includes a PMOS transistor having at least two first gate electrodes comprising a first parameter, and an NMOS transistor having at least two second gate electrodes comprising a second parameter, wherein the second parameter is different than the first parameter. The first parameter and the second parameter may comprise the thickness or the dopant profile of the gate electrode materials of the PMOS and NMOS transistors. The first and second parameter of the at least two first gate electrodes and the at least two second gate electrodes establish the work function of the PMOS and NMOS transistors, respectively.
