    摘要: Disclosed are embodiments of a semiconductor structure that incorporates multiple nitride layers stacked between the center region of a device and a blanket oxide layer. These nitride layers are more thermally conductive than the blanket oxide layer and, thus provide improved heat dissipation away from the device. Also disclosed are embodiments of a method of forming such a semiconductor structure in conjunction with the formation of any of the following nitride layers during standard processing of other devices: a nitride hardmask layer (OP layer), a “sacrificial” nitride layer (SMT layer), a tensile nitride layer (WN layer) and/or a compressive nitride layer (WP layer). Optionally, the embodiments also incorporate incomplete contacts that extend through the blanket oxide layer into one or more of the nitride layers without contacting the device in order to further improve heat dissipation.

    摘要: Disclosed herein are various methods and structures using contacts to create differential stresses on devices in an integrated circuit (IC) chip. An IC chip is disclosed having a p-type field effect transistor (PFET) and an n-type field effect transistor (NFET). One embodiment of this invention includes creating this differential stress by varying the deposition conditions for forming PFET and NFET contacts, for example, the temperature at which the fill materials are deposited, and the rate at which the fill materials are deposited. In another embodiment, the differential stress is created by filling the contacts with differing materials that will impart differential stress due to differing coefficient of thermal expansions. In another embodiment, the differential stress is created by including a silicide layer within the NFET contacts and/or the PFET contacts.

    摘要: Device structure for active devices fabricated in a semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) substrate and design structures for a radiofrequency integrated circuit. The device structure includes a first isolation region in the semiconductor layer that extends from a top surface of a semiconductor layer to a first depth, a second isolation region in the semiconductor layer that extends from the top surface of the semiconductor layer to a second depth greater than the first depth, and a first doped region in the semiconductor layer. The first doped region is disposed vertically between the first isolation region and an insulating layer disposed between the semiconductor layer and a handle wafer of the SOI substrate. The device structure may be included in a design structure embodied in a machine readable medium for designing, manufacturing, or testing an integrated circuit.
