    摘要: A semiconductor structure is disclosed. The semiconductor structure includes an active semiconductor layer, a semiconductor device having a gate disposed on top of the active semiconductor layer, and source and drain regions and a body/channel region disposed within the active semiconductor layer, an insulator layer having a first and second side, the first side being adjacent to the active semiconductor layer, a substrate disposed adjacent to the second side of the insulator layer, a deep trench capacitor disposed under the body/channel region of the semiconductor device. The deep trench capacitor electrically connects with and contacts the body/channel region of the semiconductor device, and is located adjacent to the gate of the semiconductor device. The semiconductor structure increases a critical charge Qcrit, thereby reducing a soft error rate (SER) of the semiconductor device.

    摘要: A trench decoupling capacitor is formed using RIE lag of a through silicon via (TSV) etch. A method includes etching a via trench and a capacitor trench in a wafer in a single RIE process. The via trench has a first depth and the capacitor trench has a second depth less than the first depth due to RIE lag.

    摘要: Localized logic regions of a circuit include a local comparator electrically connected to a local resistive voltage circuit, to a local resistive ground circuit, and to a local register structure. The local comparator supplies a clock pulse to the local register structures when the local reference voltage is below a local voltage threshold. Activity in the local combinatorial logic structure causes the local reference voltage to drop below the local reference voltage independently of changes in the global reference voltage causing the comparator to output the clock pulse (with sufficient delay to allow the logic results to be stored in the registers only after setup times have been met in the local logic devices). This eliminates the need for a clock distribution tree, thereby saving power when there is no activity in the local combinatorial logic structure.

    摘要: A stacked semiconductor chip comprising multiple unit chips contains multiple instances of a first chip component that have a low yield and are distributed among the multiple unit chips. An instance of the first chip component within a first unit chip is logically paired with at least another instance of the first chip component within at least another unit chip so that the combination of the multiple instances of the first chip component across the multiple unit chips constitute a functional block providing the functionality of a fully functional instance of the first chip component. The stacked semiconductor chip may include multiple instances of a second chip component having a high yield and distributed across the multiple unit chips. Multiple low yield components constitute a functional block providing an enhanced overall yield, while high yield components are utilized to their full potential functionality.

    摘要: An error-correction code is generated on a line-by-line basis of the physical logic register and latch contents that store encoded words within a processor just before the processor is put into sleep mode, and later-generated syndrome bits are checked for any soft errors when the processor wakes back up, e.g., as part of the power-up sequence.
