    摘要: A method for forming mixed high voltage/low voltage (HV/LV) transistors for CMOS devices is disclosed. In an exemplary embodiment, depletion of the gate conductor is controlled by leaving a fixed region of the gate conductor intrinsic, or lightly doped, thus separating the heavily doped low resistivity portion of the electrode with an intrinsic region by use of a conducting dopant barrier. The barrier is conductive in nature, but acts as a well-controlled diffusion barrier, stopping the “fast” diffusion which normally takes place in polysilicon, and eliminating diffusion between the conductors. Thereby, the device performance may be precisely predicted by carefully controlling the gate conductor thickness.

    摘要: An anti-fuse structure that can be programmed at low voltage and current and which potentially consumes very little chip spaces and can be formed interstitially between elements spaced by a minimum lithographic feature size is formed on a composite substrate such as a silicon-on-insulator wafer by etching a contact through an insulator to a support semiconductor layer, preferably in combination with formation of a capacitor-like structure reaching to or into the support layer. The anti-fuse may be programmed either by the selected location of conductor formation and/or damaging a dielectric of the capacitor-like structure. An insulating collar is used to surround a portion of either the conductor or the capacitor-like structure to confine damage to the desired location. Heating effects voltage and noise due to programming currents are effectively isolated to the bulk silicon layer, permitting programming during normal operation of the device. Thus the potential for self-repair without interruption of operation is realized.

    摘要: There is disclosed herein a unique fabrication sequence and the structure of a vertical silicon on insulator (SOI) bipolar transistor integrated into a typical DRAM trench process sequence. A DRAM array utilizing an NFET allows for an integrated bipolar NPN sequence. Similarly, a vertical bipolar PNP device is implemented by changing the array transistor to a PFET. Particularly, a BICMOS device is fabricated in SOI. The bipolar emitter contacts and CMOS diffusion contacts are formed simultaneously of polysilicon plugs. The CMOS diffusion contact is the plug contact from bitline to storage node of a memory cell.

    摘要: A differential receiver has a switching point accurately set according to a reference voltage, which switching point is dynamically modified, that is, dc hysteresis is provided, by a circuit internal to the differential receiver. Positioning of the resultant hysteresis characteristic about the reference signal is adjusted by establishing a backgate voltage differential between an input transistor and a reference transistor of the differential receiver. A switching circuit is also provided for controlling switching of a hysteresis circuit at the reference signal plus or minus a desired offset. The switching circuit is gated by an output signal of the input transistor.
