    摘要: Ferro-electric capacitor modules, methods of manufacture and design structures. The method of manufacturing the ferro-electric capacitor includes forming a barrier layer on an insulator layer of a CMOS structure. The method further includes forming a top plate and a bottom plate over the barrier layer. The method further includes forming a ferro-electric material between the top plate and the bottom plate. The method further includes encapsulating the barrier layer, top plate, bottom plate and ferro-electric material with an encapsulating material. The method further includes forming contacts to the top plate and bottom plate, through the encapsulating material. At least the contact to the top plate and a contact to a diffusion of the CMOS structure are in electrical connection through a common wire.

    摘要: Disclosed is a transistor structure, having a completely silicided extrinsic base for reduced base resistance Rb. Specifically, a metal silicide layer covers the extrinsic base, including the portion of the extrinsic base that extends below the upper portion of a T-shaped emitter. One exemplary technique for ensuring that the metal silicide layer covers this portion of the extrinsic base requires tapering the upper portion of the emitter. Such tapering allows a sacrificial layer below the upper portion of the emitter to be completely removed during processing, thereby exposing the extrinsic base below and allowing the metal layer required for silicidation to be deposited thereon. This metal layer can be deposited, for example, using a high pressure sputtering technique to ensure that all exposed surfaces of the extrinsic base, even those below the upper portion of the emitter, are covered.
