    摘要: A gate stack comprising a uniform thickness gate dielectric, a gate electrode, and an oxygen-diffusion-resistant gate cap is formed on a semiconductor substrate. Thermal oxidation is performed only on the drain side of the gate electrode, while the source side is protected from thermal oxidation. A thermal oxide on the drain side sidewall of the gate electrode is integrally formed with a graded thickness silicon oxide containing gate dielectric, of which the thickness monotonically increases from the source side to the drain side. The thickness profile may be self-aligned to the drain side edge of the gate electrode, or may have a portion with a self-limiting thickness. The graded thickness profile may be advantageously used to form a lateral diffusion metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor providing an enhanced performance.

    摘要: ESD power clamp devices with vertical NPN devices are disclosed. The power clamp is formed on an N type substrate and includes an N channel field effect transistor (NFET). The source and drain regions of the NFET, a P type epitaxial region under the NFET, and the N type substrate constitutes two vertical NPN devices. As such, vertical interactions of electrons are enabled to avoid the disadvantages of traditional power clamps, e.g., minority carrier cross-talk.

    摘要: Protuberances, having vertical and lateral dimensions less than the wavelength range of lights detectable by a photodiode, are formed at an optical interface between two layers having different refractive indices. The protuberances may be formed by employing self-assembling block copolymers that form an array of sublithographic features of a first polymeric block component within a matrix of a second polymeric block component. The pattern of the polymeric block component is transferred into a first optical layer to form an array of nanoscale protuberances. Alternately, conventional lithography may be employed to form protuberances having dimensions less than the wavelength of light. A second optical layer is formed directly on the protuberances of the first optical layer. The interface between the first and second optical layers has a graded refractive index, and provides high transmission of light with little reflection.

    摘要: A CMOS image sensor and method of fabrication wherein the sensor includes Copper (Cu) metallization levels allowing for incorporation of a thinner interlevel dielectric stack to result in a pixel array exhibiting increased light sensitivity. The CMOS image sensor includes structures having a minimum thickness of barrier layer metal that traverses the optical path of each pixel in the sensor array or, that have portions of barrier layer metal selectively removed from the optical paths of each pixel, thereby minimizing reflectance. That is, by implementing various block or single mask methodologies, portions of the barrier layer metal are completely removed at locations of the optical path for each pixel in the array. In a further embodiment, the barrier metal layer may be formed atop the Cu metallization by a self-aligned deposition.
