摘要:
An area-efficient gated diode includes a semiconductor layer of a first conductivity type, an active region of a second conductivity type formed in the semiconductor layer proximate an upper surface of the semiconductor layer, and at least one trench electrode extending substantially vertically through the active region and at least partially into the semiconductor layer. A first terminal of the gated diode is electrically connected to the trench electrode, and at least a second terminal is electrically connected to the active region. The gated diode is operative in one of at least a first mode and a second mode as a function of a voltage potential applied between the first and second terminals. The first mode is characterized by the creation of an inversion layer in the semiconductor layer substantially surrounding the trench electrode. The gated diode has a first capacitance in the first mode and a second capacitance in the second mode, the first capacitance being substantially greater than the second capacitance.
摘要:
The present invention provides a semiconducting device structure including a thin SOI region, wherein the SOI device is formed with an optional single thin diffusion, i.e., offset, spacer and a single diffusion implant. The device silicon thickness is thin enough to permit the diffusion implants to abut the buried insulator but thick enough to form a contacting silicide. Stress layer liner films are used both over nFET and pFET device regions to enhance performance.
摘要:
A method of forming a conductive spacer on a semiconductor device. The method includes depositing a polysilicon layer on the semiconductor device, selectively implanting dopant ions in the polysilicon layer on a first side of a transistor region of the semiconductor device to define a conductive spacer area, and removing the polysilicon layer except for the conductive spacer area. Optionally, a silicidation process can be performed on the conductive spacer area so that the conductive spacer is made up of metal silicide.

摘要:
A method for forming a transistor. A semiconductor substrate is provided. The semiconductor substrate is patterned to provide a first body edge. A first gate structure of a first fermi level is provided adjacent the first body edge. The semiconductor substrate is patterned to provide a second body edge. The first and second body edges of the semiconductor substrate define a transistor body. A second gate structure of a second fermi level is provided adjacent the second body edge. A substantially uniform dopant concentration density is formed throughout the transistor body.
摘要:
A method, computer system, and computer program product to award one or more benchmark prizes in an online card game or hand. In certain embodiments, a controller automatically triggers awarding a first benchmark prize to at least one of one or more players or one or more game observers, based at least in part on an occurrence of a first benchmark event. The awarding occurs without any physical based-dealer taking time to payout the first benchmark prize, and thus, without slowing down the online game or hand that is being played.
摘要:
Methods for forming a spacer (44) for a first structure (24, 124), such as a gate structure of a FinFET, and at most a portion of a second structure (14), such as a fin, without detrimentally altering the second structure. The methods generate a first structure (24) having a top portion (30, 130) that overhangs an electrically conductive lower portion (32, 132) and a spacer (44) under the overhang (40, 140). The overhang (40, 140) may be removed after spacer processing. Relative to a FinFET, the overhang protects parts of the fin (14) such as regions adjacent and under the gate structure (24, 124), and allows for exposing sidewalls of the fin (14) to other processing such as selective silicon growth and implantation. As a result, the methods allow sizing of the fin (14) and construction of the gate structure (24, 124) and spacer without detrimentally altering (e.g., eroding by forming a spacer thereon) the fin (14) during spacer processing. A FinFET (100) including a gate structure (24, 124) and spacer (44) is also disclosed.

摘要:
A method, computer system, and computer program product to assign player-entries in an online card game. The method commences by receiving preference parameters corresponding to a player, then receiving a player command corresponding to the player to fold out of a current hand of a particular game. For alacrity of play and for supporting a large number of concurrently open tables for an online player to play a large number of games, the method proceeds to identify an open table that satisfies player preference parameters. The preferred game and/or the player's preferred seating arrangement can be determined by using a second preference parameter. The method can respond to a fold-out command by the player and can open a new table on the basis of the player's preference parameters.
摘要:
Device designs and methods are described for incorporating capacitors commonly used in planar CMOS technology into a FinFET based technology. A capacitor includes at least one single-crystal Fin structure having a top surface and a first side surface opposite a second side surface. Adjacent the top surface of the at least one Fin structure is at least one insulator structure. Adjacent the at least one insulator structure and over a portion of the at least one Fin structure is at least one conductor structure. Decoupling capacitors may be formed at the circuit device level using simple design changes within the same integration method, thereby allowing any number, combination, and/or type of decoupling capacitors to be fabricated easily along with other devices on the same substrate to provide effective decoupling capacitance in an area-efficient manner with superior high-frequency response.
