摘要:
A MEMS magnetic flux switch is fabricated as a ferromagnetic core. The core includes a center cantilever that is fabricated as a free beam that can oscillate at a resonant frequency that is determined by its mechanical and material properties. The center cantilever is moved by impulses applied by an associated motion oscillator, which can be magnetic or electric actuators.

摘要:
A vertical MOS transistor has a source region, a channel region, and a drain region that are vertically stacked, and a trench that extends from the top surface of the drain region through the drain region, the channel region, and partially into the source region. The vertical MOS transistor also has an insulation layer that lines the trench, and a conductive gate region that contacts the insulation layer to fill up the trench.
摘要:
An apparatus and method for a heat sink to dissipate the heat sourced by the encapsulated transistors in a SOI wafer. The apparatus includes a transistor formed in the active silicon layer of the wafer. The active surface is formed over an oxide layer and a bulk silicon layer. A heat sink is formed in the bulk silicon layer and configured to sink heat through the bulk silicon layer, to the back surface of the wafer. After the transistor is fabricated, the heat sink is formed by masking, patterning and etching the back surface of the wafer to form plugs in the bulk silicon layer. The plug extends through the thickness of the bulk layer to the oxide layer. Thereafter, the plug is filled with a thermally conductive material, such as a metal or DAG (thermally conductive paste). During operation, heat from the transistor is dissipated through the heat sink. In various embodiments of the invention, the plug hole is formed using either an anisotropic plasma or wet etch.

In a semiconductor structure, interconnects between regions of a single device or different devices are achieved by forming metal plugs that span across the regions to be interconnected, wherein the plugs are formed from the metal used in forming a silicide layer on the structure. The metal is masked off in desired areas prior to etching, to leave the metal plugs.

In a BJT, the extrinsic base to collector capacitance is reduced by forming a lateral trench between the extrinsic base region and collector. This is typically done by using an anisotropic wet etch process in a direction of a orientation wafer.
