    摘要: In an integrated circuit process for SOI including trench device isolation, the problem of voids in the trench fill is addressed by a triple fill process, in which a thermal oxide sidewall having recesses at the bottom corners is covered with a LPCVD deposition that fills in the recesses, followed by a void-free HDP deposition. Densification results in substantially the same etch rate for the three types of oxide.

    摘要: A method for implementing integrated circuit yield estimation includes computing Voronoi regions for an original integrated circuit layout; for each bisector segment of the Voronoi regions and one or more failure mechanisms, computing a failure probability based on geometric parameters of corresponding Voronoi edge regions associated with the bisector segment, using pre-computed failure probabilities as a function of edge orientation and spacing for the failure mechanisms; for each segment of a design edge bounded by bisectors, computing a change in the failure probability based on the geometric parameters of the Voronoi regions, using pre-computed change in failure probabilities for the failure mechanisms; encoding the computed failure probabilities for each Voronoi region in a manner suitable for visual differentiation by a user; and encoding the computed change in failure probabilities by directional displacement of a layout edge segment that would result in a decrease in failure probability.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) device having a lower external resistance and a method for manufacturing the CMOS device. The inventive MOSFET is produced by forming first suicide regions in a substrate as well as atop surface of a gate region and forming second silicide regions where second silicide thickness is greater than the first silicide thickness. The inventive method produces a low resistance first silicide in close proximity to the channel region of the device, where the incorporation of the first silicide decreases the external resistance of the device while the incorporation of the second silicide produces low sheet resistance interconnects.
