Abstract:
A method and structure for an integrated circuit structure that utilizes complementary fin-type field effect transistors (FinFETs) is disclosed. The invention has a first-type of FinFET which includes a first fin (100), and a second-type of FinFET which includes a second fin (102) running parallel to the first fin (100). The invention also has an insulator fin positioned between the source/drain regions (130) of the first first-type of FinFET and the second-type of FinFET. The insulator fin has approximately the same width dimensions as the first fin (100) and the second fin (102), such that the spacing between the first-type of FinFET and the second-type of FinFET is approximately equal to the width of one fin. The invention also has a common gate (106) formed over channel regions of the first-type of FinFET and the second-type of FinFET. The gate (106) includes a first impurity doping region adjacent the first-type of FinFET and a second impurity doping region adjacent the second-type of FinFET. The differences between the first impurity doping region and the second impurity doping region provide the gate with different work functions related to differences between the first-type of FinFET and the second-type of FinFET. The first fin (100) and the second fin (102) have approximately the same width.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device structure of SOI(silicon on isulator) CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) in which avalanche multiplication of current flowing through a device is increased when an FET(field effect transistor) is turned on and body charges are removed when the FET is turned off. SOLUTION: An FET having an electric floating body is substantially isolated electrically from a substrate. A high resistance path 16 for coupling the floating body is provided at the source. The resistor is operated as a floating body for active switching and a body grounded in waiting mode in order to reduce leakage current. The high resistance path has a resistance of at least 1 MΩ and made of polysilicon. The resistor is formed using a split polysilicon process for opening a hole in a first polysilicon layer in order that an embedded contact mask 19 brings a second polysilicon layer into contact with the substrate.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To ensure strong resistance against hot electron effect on the interface of silicon/silicon dioxide while suppressing damage of an element by substituting deuterium for hydrogen of a film formation reactive substance being used in production of semiconductor thereby producing a deuterium film substance at the time of film formation. SOLUTION: A MOSFET element 100 comprises a single crystal silicon substrate 11, source-drain regions 12, 13, a gate oxide 14, a gate polysilicon 15, a gate sidewall spacer 16, a silicon nitride barrier wall 18, a passive oxide layer (e.g. SiO2 ) to be bonded, and a self-aligned silicate layer 17. These components of gate oxide 14, polysilicon 15, or the like, in the element contain hydrogen molecules emitted into the oxide during annealing process. The hydrogen atom is substituted by deuterium at the time of film formation to produce a deuterium film substance. Hydrogen migrates to the interface of silicon/silicon dioxide of these component of element to produce a deuterium substance thus exhibiting resistance against heat cycle.
