摘要:
A solution for alleviating variable parasitic bipolar leakages in scaled semiconductor technologies is described herein. Placement variation is eliminated for edges of implants under shallow trench isolation (STI) areas by creating a barrier to shield areas from implantation more precisely than with only a standard photolithographic mask. An annealing process expands the implanted regions such their boundaries align within a predetermined distance from the edge of a trench. The distances are proportionate for each trench and each adjacent isolation region.

Solutions for forming an extremely thin semiconductor-on-insulator (ETSOI) layer. In one embodiment, a method includes providing a wafer including a plurality of semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) layer regions separated by at least one shallow trench isolation (STI); amorphizing the plurality of SOI layer regions by implanting the plurality of SOI layer regions with an implant species; and removing a portion of the amorphized SOI layer region to form at least one recess in the amorphized SOI layer region.

Structures and methods for integrating a thick oxide high-voltage metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) device into a thin oxide silicon-on-insulator (SOI). A method of forming a semiconductor structure includes forming first source and drain regions of a first device below a buried oxide layer of a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafer, forming a gate of the first device in a layer of semiconductor material above the buried oxide layer; and forming second source and drain regions of a second device in the layer of semiconductor material above the buried oxide layer.

A method of increasing an initial threshold voltage (Vt) of selected devices. The method includes designing devices with desired antenna effects and adjusting an increase in Vt of some devices to specific values. The desired antenna effects produce a desired threshold voltage of the devices.

A system and a method for measuring temperature within an operating circuit use a Wheatstone bridge within a temperature sensing circuit. One of the resistors in the Wheatstone bridge is a thermally sensitive resistive material layer within the operating circuit. The other three resistors are thermally isolated from the operating circuit. Particular configurations of NFET and PFET devices are used to provide enhanced measurement sensitivity within the temperature sensing circuit that includes the Wheatstone bridge.
