    摘要: The instant invention describes a programmable neuron MOSFET structure formed on SOI substrates. A number of input capacitor structures (241, 231) are formed on a SOI substrate. The substrate region of the capacitors (330, 340) are completely isolated from each other by isolation structures (270). In addition the transistor structure (210) of the neuron MOSFET is completely isolated from the capacitor structures (241, 231) by the isolation structure (270). The neuron MOSFET also comprises a contiguous floating conductive layer (200, 230, and 240) which forms the gate structure of the capacitors (230, 240) and the floating gate (200) of the transistor structure.

    摘要: An integrated circuit and method of fabricating the integrated circuit is disclosed. The integrated circuit includes vertical bipolar transistors (30, 50, 60), each having a buried collector region (26′). A carbon-bearing diffusion barrier (28c) is disposed over the buried collector region (26′), to inhibit the diffusion of dopant from the buried collector region (26′) into the overlying epitaxial layer (28). The diffusion barrier (28c) may be formed by incorporating a carbon source into the epitaxial formation of the overlying layer (28), or by ion implantation. In the case of ion implantation of carbon or SiGeC, masks (52, 62) may be used to define the locations of the buried collector regions (26′) that are to receive the carbon; for example, portions underlying eventual collector contacts (33, 44c) may be masked from the carbon implant so that dopant from the buried collector region (26′) can diffuse upward to meet the contact (33). MOS transistors (70, 80) including the diffusion barrier (28) are also disclosed.

    摘要: The present invention is directed to a structure and method of forming an integrated circuit MIM capacitor having a relatively capacitance without the need for an additional mask step. Methods of forming integrated circuit capacitors include the steps of forming a standard via and one or more enlarged vias in an electrically insulating layer during the same patterning process and then forming an electrically conductive first electrode layer which fills the standard via and overlays the enlarged vias in a conformal manner. A dielectric layer is then formed over the electrically conductive first electrode layer. Next, an electrically conductive second electrode layer is formed over the dielectric layer, which overlays and/or fills the enlarged vias. A step is then performed to planarize the second electrode layer, the dielectric layer, and the first electrode layer to define the electrodes of a capacitor. The resulting capacitor has a relatively large effective electrode surface area (which is a function of the depth of the via) for a given lateral dimension.

    摘要: A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes forming a buried layer of a semiconductor substrate. An active region is formed adjacent at least a portion of the buried layer. A first isolation structure is formed adjacent at least a portion of the buried layer. A second isolation structure is formed adjacent at least a portion of the active region. A base layer is formed adjacent at least a portion of the active region. A dielectric layer is formed adjacent at least a portion of the base layer, and then at least part of the dielectric layer is removed at an emitter contact location and at a sinker contact location. An emitter structure is formed at the emitter contact location. Forming the emitter structure includes etching the semiconductor device at the sinker contact location to form a sinker contact region. The sinker contact region has a first depth. The method may also include forming a gate structure. Forming the gate structure includes etching the sinker contact region thereby increasing the first depth of the sinker contact region to a second depth.
