    摘要: Disclosed is an integrated circuit with multiple semiconductor fins having different widths and variable spacing on the same substrate. The method of forming the circuit incorporates a sidewall image transfer process using different types of mandrels. Fin thickness and fin-to-fin spacing are controlled by an oxidation process used to form oxide sidewalls on the mandrels, and more particularly, by the processing time and the use of intrinsic, oxidation-enhancing and/or oxidation-inhibiting mandrels. Fin thickness is also controlled by using sidewalls spacers combined with or instead of the oxide sidewalls. Specifically, images of the oxide sidewalls alone, images of sidewall spacers alone, and/or combined images of sidewall spacers and oxide sidewalls are transferred into a semiconductor layer to form the fins. The fins with different thicknesses and variable spacing can be used to form a single multiple-fin FET or, alternatively, various single-fin and/or multiple-fin FETs.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a second metal line embedded in a second dielectric layer overlies a first metal line embedded in a first dielectric layer. A portion of the second dielectric layer overlying the first metal line is recessed employing a photoresist and the second metal line as an etch mask. A doped semiconductor spacer is formed within the recess to provide a resistive link between the first metal line and the second metal line. In another embodiment, a first metal line and a second metal line are embedded in a dielectric layer. An area of the dielectric layer laterally abutting the first and second metal lines is recessed employing a photoresist and the first and second metal lines as an etch mask. A doped semiconductor spacer is formed on sidewalls of the first and second metal lines, providing a resistive link between the first and second metal lines.

    摘要: Device and design structures for memory cells in a non-volatile random access memory (NVRAM). The device structure includes a semiconductor body in direct contact with the insulating layer, a control gate electrode, and a floating gate electrode in direct contact with the insulating layer. The semiconductor body includes a source, a drain, and a channel between the source and the drain. The floating gate electrode is juxtaposed with the channel of the semiconductor body and is disposed between the control gate electrode and the insulating layer. A first dielectric layer is disposed between the channel of the semiconductor body and the floating gate electrode. A second dielectric layer is disposed between the control gate electrode and the floating gate electrode.
