    摘要: A micromechanical sensor probe for a scanned-probe tool comprising a silicon probe and a coating of a refractory metal silicide formed at least on the tip of the probe. Titanium silicide is preferred. A method for manufacturing such a probe includes the steps of, first, providing a silicon cantilever and tip combination and, second, forming a refractory metal silicide on at least the tip of the cantilever and tip combination. This second step of the method includes removing any remnant oxide from the tip, stabilizing the cantilever and tip combination on a carrier, depositing a refractory metal on the silicon tip, heating the cantilever and tip combination in an ambient free of oxygen to react chemically the refractory metal on and the silicon of the tip, selectively etching any unreacted refractory metal from the tip, and annealing the cantilever and tip combination in an ambient free of oxygen. The method may also include, as a final step, removing any unreacted refractory metal from the tip.

    摘要: A semiconductor-on-insulator substrate and a related semiconductor structure, as well as a method for fabricating the semiconductor-on-insulator substrate and the related semiconductor structure, provide for a multiple order radio frequency harmonic suppressing region located and formed within a base semiconductor substrate at a location beneath an interface of a buried dielectric layer with the base semiconductor substrate within the semiconductor-on-insulator substrate. The multiple order radio frequency harmonic suppressing region may comprise an ion implanted atom, such as but not limited to a noble gas atom, to provide a suppressed multiple order radio frequency harmonic when powering a radio frequency device, such as but not limited to a radio frequency complementary metal oxide semiconductor device (or alternatively a passive device), located and formed within and upon a surface semiconductor layer within the semiconductor structure.

    摘要: Disclosed is semiconductor structure with an insulator layer on a semiconductor substrate and a device layer is on the insulator layer. The substrate is doped with a relatively low dose of a dopant having a given conductivity type such that it has a relatively high resistivity. Additionally, a portion of the semiconductor substrate immediately adjacent to the insulator layer can be doped with a slightly higher dose of the same dopant, a different dopant having the same conductivity type or a combination thereof. Optionally, micro-cavities are created within this same portion so as to balance out any increase in conductivity due to increased doping with a corresponding increase in resistivity. Increasing the dopant concentration at the semiconductor substrate-insulator layer interface raises the threshold voltage (Vt) of any resulting parasitic capacitors and, thereby reduces harmonic behavior. Also disclosed herein are embodiments of a method for forming such a semiconductor structure.
