An optical structure includes a substrate having semiconductor material and a grating structure. The grating structure has the property of emitting at least one frequency band so that light having a frequency from that frequency band cannot propagate in the grating structure. The grating structure has a configuration of pores and a defective region. The pores are disposed outside the defective region in a periodic array, and the periodic array is disturbed in the defective region. A surface of the grating structure is provided with a conductive layer at least in the vicinity of the defective region. A method for producing the optical structure is also provided.

An open form is produced with a plurality of in each case two-dimensionally structured layers. The form is made of silicon which is etchable in dependence on its doping. A first silicon layer is first produced, and a portion of the first layer which belongs to the form to be produced, is marked by doping at least one zone of the first layer. Subsequently, at least one further silicon layer is applied, and a portion belonging to the form is also marked therein. Finally, every unmarked portion of the layers is removed by etching depending on the respective doping of each layer. The open form is, in particular, a photonic crystal.

An integrated electrical circuit has at least one memory cell, in which the memory cell is disposed in the region of a surface of a semiconductor substrate. The memory cell contains at least two inverters that are electrically connected to one another. The inverters each contain two complementary MOS transistors having a source, a drain and a channel, the channels of the complementary MOS transistors having different conductivity types. According to the invention, the integrated electrical circuit is constructed in such a way that the inverters are disposed perpendicularly to the surface of the semiconductor substrate. The source, the drain and the channel of the complementary MOS transistors are formed by layers which lie one on top of the other and are disposed in such a way that the complementary MOS transistors are situated one above the other. The invention furthermore relates to a method for fabricating the integrated electrical circuit.

In producing a silicon capacitor, hole structures (2) are created in a silicon substrate (1), at the surface of which structures a conductive zone (3) is created by doping and whose surface is provided with a dielectric layer (4) and a conductive layer (5), without filling the hole structures (2). To compensate mechanical strains upon the silicon substrate (1) which are effected by the doping of the conductive zone (3), a conformal auxiliary layer (6) is formed on the surface of the conductive layer (5), which auxiliary layer is under a compressive mechanical stress.

A method for fabricating a capacitor for a semiconductor memory configuration. In this case, a selectively etchable material is applied to a conductive support, which is connected to a semiconductor body via a contact hole in an insulator layer, and patterned. A first conductive layer is applied thereon and patterned. A hole is introduced into the first conductive layer, through which hole the selectively etchable material is etched out. A cavity is produced under the first conductive layer in the process. The inner surface of the cavity and the outer surface of the first conductive layer are provided with a dielectric layer, to which a second conductive layer is applied and patterned.
摘要:
A memory cell configuration in a semiconductor substrate is proposed, in which the semiconductor substrate is of the first conductivity type. Trenches which run parallel to one another are incorporated in the semiconductor substrate, and first address lines run along the side walls of the trenches. Second address lines are formed on the semiconductor substrate, transversely with respect to the trenches. Semiconductor substrate regions, in which a diode and a dielectric whose conductivity can be changed are arranged, are located between the first address lines and the second address lines. A suitable current pulse can be used to produce a breakdown in the dielectric, with information thus being stored in the dielectric.
摘要:
A method for fabricating a dopant region is disclosed. The dopant region is formed by providing a semiconductor substrate that has a surface. An electrically insulating intermediate layer is applied to the surface. A doped semiconductor layer is then applied to the electrically insulating intermediate layer, the semiconductor layer being of a first conductivity type and contains a dopant of the first conductivity type. A temperature treatment of the semiconductor substrate at a predefined diffusion temperature is performed, so that the dopant diffuses partially out of the semiconductor layer through the intermediate layer into the semiconductor substrate and forms there a dopant region of the first conductivity type. The electrical conductivity of the intermediate layer is modified, so that an electrical contact between the semiconductor substrate and the semiconductor layer is produced through the intermediate layer.

A storage capacitor for a DRAM has a dielectric composed of silicon nitride and has at least two electrodes disposed opposite one another across the dielectric. A material having a high tunneling barrier between the Fermi level of the material and the conduction band of the dielectric is used for the electrodes. Suitable materials for the electrodes are metals such as platinum, tungsten and iridium or silicides.
摘要:
For the operation of a memory cell arrangement with MOS transistors as memory cells that comprise a dielectric triple layer (5) with a first silicon oxide layer (51), a silicon nitride layer (52) and a second silicon oxide layer (53) as gate dielectric, whereby the silicon oxide layers are respectively at least 3 nm thick, a first cutoff voltage value is allocated to a first logical value and a second cutoff voltage value of the MOS transistor is allocated to a second logical value for storing digital data. The information stored in the memory cell can be modified by applying corresponding voltage levels, although a complete removal of charge stored in the silicon nitride layer is not possible because of the thickness of the silicon oxide layers. What is exploited when modifying the cutoff voltage is that the electrical field in the dielectric triple layer is distorted by charge stored in the silicon nitride layer.
