    摘要: Thermal cooling structures of diamond or diamond-like materials are provided for conducting heat away from semiconductor devices. A first silicon-on-insulator embodiment comprises a plurality of thermal paths, formed after shallow trench and device fabrication steps are completed, which extend through the buried oxide and provide heat dissipation through to the underlying bulk silicon substrate. The thermal conduction path material is preferably diamond which has high thermal conductivity with low electrical conductivity. A second diamond trench cooling structure, formed after device fabrication has been completed, comprises diamond shallow trenches disposed between the devices and extending through the buried oxide layer. An alternative diamond thermal cooling structure includes a diamond insulation layer deposited over the semiconductor devices in either an SOI or bulk silicon structure. Yet another embodiment comprises diamond sidewalls formed along the device walls in thermal contact with the device junctions to provide heat dissipation through the device junctions to underlying cooling structures. It is also proposed that the foregoing structures, and combinations of the foregoing structures, could be used in conjunction with other known cooling schemes.

    摘要: A method and structure for an electrode device, whereby a second electrode is deposited on a first electrode such that there is an increase in the capacitive coupling between the pair of conductive electrodes. The electrodes are self-aligning such that the patterning manufacturing process is insensitive to variations in the positional placement of the pattern on the substrate. Moreover, a single lithographic masking layer is used for forming the pair of electrodes, which are electrically isolated. Finally, the first electrode is offset from the second electrode by a chemical surface modification of the first electrode, and an anisotropic deposition of the second electrode which is shadowed by the first electrode.

    摘要: A structure and method of forming a fully planarized polymer thin-film transistor by using a first planar carrier to process a first portion of the device including gate, source, drain and body elements. Preferably, the thin-film transistors made with all organic materials. The gate dielectric can be a high-k polymer to boost the device performance. Then, the partially-finished device structures are flipped upside-down and transferred to a second planar carrier. A layer of wax or photo-sensitive organic material is then applied, and can be used as the temporary glue. The device, including its body area, is then defined by an etching process. Contacts to the devices are formed by conductive material deposition and chemical-mechanical polish.
