    摘要: In order to reduce power dissipation requirements, obtain full potential transistor performance and avoid power dissipation limitations on transistor performance in high density integrated circuits, transistors are operated in a sub-threshold (sub-Vth) or a near sub-Vth voltage regime (generally about 0.2 volts rather than a super-Vth regime of about 1.2 volts or higher) and optimized for such operation, particularly through simplification of the transistor structure, since intrinsic channel resistance is dominant in sub-Vth operating voltage regimes. Such simplifications include an underlap or recess of the source and drain regions from the gate which avoids overlap capacitance to partially recover loss of switching speed otherwise caused by low voltage operation, an ultra-thin gate structure having a thickness of 500 Å or less which also simplifies forming connections to the transistor and an avoidance of silicidation or alloy formation in the source, drain and/or gate of transistors.

    摘要: Provided is a technique for forming an indium field implant at the bottom of an STI trench to strengthen the p-well under field oxide, but to not weaken the n-well under the field oxide. The diffusivity of indium is an order of magnitude smaller than that of boron and the activation level of indium is high enough for well dopings. Thus, the implanted indium is able to keep the concentration of p-dopant at the p-n well junction under the field isolation and the oxide/silicon interface high, even with boron depletion, so that punchthrough is avoided.
