    摘要: FinFETs are provided with a body contact on a top surface of a semiconductor fin. The top body contact may be self-aligned with respect to the semiconductor fin and the source and drain regions. Alternately, the source and drain regions may be formed recessed from the top surface of the semiconductor fin. The body or an extension of the body may be contacted above the channel or above one of the source and drain regions. Electrical shorts between the source and drain and the body contacts are avoided by the recessing of the source and drain regions from the top surface of the semiconductor fin.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a mandrel and an outer dummy spacer may be employed to form a first conductivity type region. The mandrel is removed to form a recessed region wherein a second conductivity type region is formed. In another embodiment, a mandrel is removed from within shallow trench isolation to form a recessed region, in which an inner dummy spacer is formed. A first conductivity type region and a second conductivity region are formed within the remainder of the recessed region. An anneal is performed so that the first conductivity type region and the second conductivity type region abut each other by diffusion. A gate electrode is formed in self-alignment to the p-n junction between the first and second conductivity regions. The p-n junction controlled by the gate electrode, which may be sublithographic, constitutes an inventive tunneling effect transistor.

    摘要: Trench anti-fuse structures, design structures embodied in a machine readable medium for designing, manufacturing, or testing a programmable integrated circuit. The anti-fuse structure includes a trench having a plurality of sidewalls that extend into a substrate, a doped region in the semiconductor material of the substrate proximate to the sidewalls of the trench, a conductive plug in the trench, and a dielectric layer on the sidewalls of the trench. The dielectric layer is disposed between the conductive plug and the doped region. The dielectric layer is configured so that a programming voltage applied between the doped region and the conductive plug causes a breakdown of the dielectric layer within a region of the trench. The trench sidewalls are arranged with a cross-sectional geometrical shape that is independent of position between a bottom wall of the deep trench and a top surface of the substrate.

    摘要: Electrically programmable fuse structures and methods of fabrication thereof are presented, wherein a fuse includes first and second terminal portions interconnected by an elongate fuse element. The first terminal portion has a maximum width greater than a maximum width of the fuse element, and the fuse includes a narrowed width region where the first terminal portion and fuse element interface. The narrowed width region extends at least partially into and includes part of the first terminal portion. The width of the first terminal portion in the narrowed region is less than the maximum width of the first terminal portion to enhance current crowding therein. In another implementation, the fuse element includes a restricted width region wherein width of the fuse element is less than the maximum width thereof to enhance current crowding therein, and length of the restricted width region is less than a total length of the fuse element.

    摘要: A semiconductor fin having a doping of the first conductivity type and a semiconductor column are formed on a substrate. The semiconductor column and an adjoined end portion of the semiconductor fin are doped with dopants of a second conductivity type, which is the opposite of the first conductivity type. The doped semiconductor column constitutes an inner electrode of a capacitor. A dielectric layer and a conductive material layer are formed on the semiconductor fin and the semiconductor column. The conductive material layer is patterned to form an outer electrode for the capacitor and a gate electrode. A single-sided halo implantation may be performed. Source and drain regions are formed in the semiconductor fin to form an access transistor. The source region is electrically connected to the inner electrode of the capacitor. The access transistor and the capacitor collectively constitute a DRAM cell.
