摘要:
A dual gate transistor device and method for fabricating the same. First, a doped substrate is prepared with a patterned oxide layer on the doped substrate defining a channel. Next, a silicon layer is deposited to form the channel, with a gate oxide layer then grown adjacent the channel. Subsequently, a plurality of gate electrodes are formed next to the gate oxide layer and a drain is formed on the channel. After the drain is formed, an ILD layer is deposited. This ILD layer is etched to form a source region contact, a drain region contact, a first gate electrode contact, and a second gate electrode contact.

摘要:
A fusible link device disposed on a semiconductor substrate for providing discretionary electrical connections. The fusible link device of the invention includes a silicide layer and a polysilicon layer formed on the silicide layer and has a first un-programmed resistance. The silicide layer agglomerates to form an electrical discontinuity in response to a predetermined programming potential being applied across the suicide layer, such that the resistance of the fusible link device can be selectively increased to a second programmed resistance.

A fusible link device disposed on a semiconductor substrate for providing discretionary changes in resistance. The fusible link device of the invention includes a polysilicon layer having a first resistance. A silicide layer formed on the polysilicon layer has a second, lower resistance and includes a fuse region having a first notched region narrower than the center of the fuse region, a first contact region electrically coupled to one end of the fuse region and a second contact region electrically coupled to an opposite end of the fuse region. The silicide layer agglomerates to form an electrical discontinuity in the fuse region (usually in the notched region) in response to a current greater than or equal to a predetermined programming current flowing between the contact regions, such that the resistance of the fusible link device can be selectively increased.

A one time programmable memory includes isolated gate transistors that may be programmed by subjecting the isolated gate transistors to voltage conditions that degrade characteristics of the isolated gate transistors. The degraded characteristics may be sensed to read the memory.
摘要:
A transistor may have degraded characteristics because of an overvoltage condition. The degraded characteristics may be sensed to determine that the transistor has previously been subjected to an overvoltage condition.

摘要:
A monitoring device to monitor process induced charge employing a single layer of polysilicon forming a floating gate. The device comprises two capacitors, one for charging and the other for discharging a floating gate of an n-channel transistor. Embodiments which permit the monitoring of positive charge, negative charge and both positive and negative charge are described. The device is reusable and lends itself to in-line monitoring as opposed to some prior art devices used for end-of-line monitoring.
