    摘要: A first trench having a first aspect ratio and a second trench having a second aspect ratio that is greater than the first trench are provided into a material stack of a semiconductor substrate and a dielectric material. An epitaxial semiconductor material having a different lattice constant than the substrate is then grown within each of the first and second trenches. The semiconductor material which is epitaxially formed in the first trench has an upper semiconductor material portion that is entirely defect free, while the semiconductor material which is epitaxially formed in the second trench has defects that randomly propagate to the topmost surface of the semiconductor material. At least one semiconductor device is then formed on each epitaxially grown semiconductor material. The at least one semiconductor device located on the epitaxially grown semiconductor material formed in the second trench is a physical unclonable function device.

    摘要: A method is provided for forming a metal-insulator-metal capacitor in a replacement metal gate module. The method includes providing a gate cap formed on a gate. The method further includes removing a portion of the gate cap and forming a recess in the gate. A remaining portion of the gate forms a first electrode of the capacitor. The method also includes depositing a dielectric on remaining portions of the gate cap and the remaining portion of the gate. The method additionally includes depositing a conductive material on the dielectric. The method further includes removing a portion of the conductive material and portions of the dielectric to expose a remaining portion of the conductive material and a remaining portion of the dielectric. The remaining portion of the conductive material forms a second electrode of the capacitor. The remaining portion of the dielectric forms an insulator of the capacitor.
