    摘要: In a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, a dummy gate structure is formed over a substrate. A first insulating layer is formed over the dummy gate structure. The dummy gate structure is removed so as to form a gate space in the first insulating layer. A first conductive layer is formed in the gate space so as to form a reduced gate space. The reduced gate space is filled with a second conductive layer made of a different material from the first conductive layer. The filled first conductive layer and the second conductive layer are recessed so as to form a first gate recess. A third conductive layer is formed over the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer in the first gate recess. After recessing the filled first conductive layer and the second conductive layer, the second conductive layer protrudes from the first conductive layer.

    摘要: Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards a semiconductor structure comprising a waveguide. The waveguide has an input region and an output region. The input region is configured to receive light. The waveguide comprises a lower doped structure comprising a first doping type and a plurality of doped pillar structures disposed within the lower doped structure. The doped pillar structures comprise a second doping type opposite the first doping type. The doped pillar structures extend from a top surface of the lower doped structure to a point below the top surface of the lower doped structure.

    摘要: Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards a trench capacitor with a trench pattern for yield improvement. The trench capacitor is on a substrate and comprises a plurality of capacitor segments. The capacitor segments extend into the substrate according to the trench pattern and are spaced with a pitch on an axis. The plurality of capacitor segments comprises an edge capacitor segment at an edge of the trench capacitor and a center capacitor segment at a center of the trench capacitor. The edge capacitor segment has a greater width than the center capacitor segment and/or the pitch is greater at the edge capacitor segment than at the center capacitor segment. The greater width may facilitate stress absorption and the greater pitch may increase substrate rigidity at the edge of the trench capacitor where thermal expansion stress is greatest, thereby reducing substrate bending and trench burnout for yield improvements.
