摘要： A novel transistor structure for a DRAM cell includes two deep trenches, one trench including a vertical storage cell for storing the data and the second trench including a vertical control cell for controlling the p-well voltage, which, in effect, places part of the p-well in a floating condition thus decreasing the threshold voltage as compared to when the vertical pass transistor is in an off-state. This enables the transistor to exhibit increased gate overdrive and drive current during an active wordline voltage commonly applied to both gates of the storage and control cells.

摘要： Provision of a body control contact adjacent a transistor and between the transistor and a contact to the substrate or well in which the transistor is formed allows connection and disconnection of the substrate of the transistor to and from a zero (ground) or substantially arbitrary low voltage in accordance with control signals applied to the gate of the transistor to cause the transistor to exhibit a variable threshold which maintains good performance at low supply voltages and reduces power consumption/dissipation which is particularly advantageous in portable electronic devices. Floating body effects (when the transistor substrate in disconnected from a voltage source in the “on” state) are avoided since the substrate is discharged when the transistor is switched to the “off” state. The transistor configuration can be employed with both n-type and p-type transistors which may be in complementary pairs.

摘要： A structure for use as a MOSFET employs an SOI wafer with a SiGe island resting on the SOI layer and extending between two blocks that serve as source and drain; epitaxially grown Si on the vertical surfaces of the SiGe forms the transistor channel. The lattice structure of the SiGe is arranged such that the epitaxial Si has little or no strain in the direction between the S and D and a significant strain perpendicular to that direction.

摘要： A method and structure implant a first-type impurity within a substrate to form a channel region within the substrate adjacent a top surface of the substrate; form a gate stack on the top surface of the substrate above the channel region; and implant a second-type impurity within the substrate to form source and drain regions within the substrate adjacent the top surface. The channel region is positioned between the source and drain regions. The second-type impurity has an opposite polarity with respect to the first-type impurity. The method and structure implant a greater concentration of the first-type impurity, relative to a concentration of the first-type impurity within the channel region, to form a primary body doping region within the substrate below (relative to the top surface) the channel region; and to form secondary body doping regions within the substrate below (relative to the top surface) the source and drain regions.

摘要： A vertical pass transistor used in a DRAM cell for maintaining a low total leakage current and providing adequate drive current is described together with a method of fabricating such a device. The transistor gate is engineered in lieu of the channel. The vertical pass transistor for the DRAM cell incorporates two gate materials having different work functions. The gate material near the storage node is n-type doped polysilicon. The gate material near the bit line diffusion is made of silicide or metal having a higher work function than the n-polysilicon. The novel device structure shows several advantages: the channel doping is reduced while maintaining a high Vt and a low sub-threshold leakage current; the carrier mobility improves with the reduced channel doping; the body effect of the device is reduced which improves the write back current; and the sub-threshold swing is reduced because of the low channel doping.

摘要翻译： 在DRAM单元中使用的用于保持低总漏电流并提供足够的驱动电流的垂直传输晶体管与制造这种器件的方法一起被描述。 晶体管栅极被设计代替通道。 用于DRAM单元的垂直传输晶体管包括具有不同功函数的两个栅极材料。 存储节点附近的栅极材料为n型掺杂多晶硅。 位线扩散附近的栅极材料由具有比n-多晶硅更高的功函数的硅化物或金属制成。 该新颖的器件结构显示出几个优点：沟道掺杂减少，同时保持高Vt和低的亚阈值漏电流; 载流子迁移率随着沟道掺杂的降低而提高; 减少了器件的体效，提高了回写电流; 并且由于低通道掺杂，子阈值摆幅减小。
