    摘要: A novel transistor with a low resistance ultra shallow tip region and its method of fabrication in a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) process. According to the preferred method of the present invention, a first gate dielectric and a first gate electrode are formed on a first portion of a semiconductor substrate having a first conductivity type, and a second gate dielectric and a said gate electrode are formed on a second portion of semiconductor substrate having a second conductivity type. A silicon nitride layer is formed over the first portion of the semiconductor substrate including the first gate electrode and over the second portion of the semiconductor substrate including the second gate electrode. The silicon nitride layer is removed from the second portion of the silicon substrate and from the top of the second gate electrode to thereby form a first pair of silicon nitride spacers adjacent to opposite sides of the second gate electrode. A pair of recesses are then formed in the second portion of the semiconductor substrate in alignment with the first pair of sidewall spacers. A selectively deposited semiconductor material is then formed in the recesses.

    摘要: A new method of isolating a polysilicon emitter from the base region of a bipolar transistor, trenching the polysilicon emitter into the semiconductor substrate, and maintaining a consistent base width of a bipolar transistor independent of variations in emitter mask thicknesses is disclosed. The polysilicon emitter isolation provides for better electrical breakdown characteristics between the emitter and the base by protecting the dielectric layer between the polysilicon emitter and base regions from defects and contamination associated with the BiCMOS manufacturing environment. The polysilicon emitter is trenched into the semiconductor substrate in order to reduce transistor operation problems associated with hot electron injection. Consistent base widths improve transistor performance uniformity thereby improving manufacturability and reliability.

    摘要: A multiple-phase clock generator includes at least one stage of dividers. A clock signal is supplied as a first stage clock input to dividers in a first stage of dividers. An N-th stage includes 2N dividers, where N is a positive integer number. Each divider in the first stage is configured to divide a first clock frequency of the first stage clock input by 2 to provide a first stage output. Each divider in the N-th stage is configured to divide an N-th clock frequency of an N-th stage clock input by 2 to provide an N-th stage output. The N-th stage outputs from the dividers in the N-th stage provide 2N-phase clock signals that are equally distributed with a same phase difference between adjacent phase clock signals.
