Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve the latch-up resistance of a CMOS device by forming implants on the edges of an N well and/or a P well by using a hybrid resist and, at the same time, to improve the device density of the CMOS device by promoting the scaling of the device. SOLUTION: A wafer section 2100 can be completed by an appropriate manufacturing method, for example, by forming a device gate, a contact diffusion area, etc. In the wafer section 2100, in addition, N and P contact diffusion areas are formed. In these contact diffusion areas, implants are usually formed on the surface of silicon which is not masked with a polysilicon gate. Therefore, a method and a structure for reducing the latch-up of a CMOS device by forming N and/or P edge implants on the edges of a P-well, N-well, and/or a double well are obtained.

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.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a DTFET(dynamic threshold field effect transistor) which can improve a switching speed in a transistor circuit and can use a power voltage higher than 0.5 volts. SOLUTION: A DTFET 12 includes a resistance 18 connected between an input node 14 and a body 15. Inclusion of such a resistance can realization of the DTFET by a bulk technique and can utilize a power voltage higher than 0.5 volts. The resistance 18 can be provided in the form of a resistance integrated within a transistor or in the form of an independent element separated from the transistor.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an integrated circuit which is reduced in capacitive coupling of a semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) substrate. SOLUTION: First doped semiconductor regions 18 having the same conductivity type dopant as a bottom semiconductor layer and second doped semiconductor regions 28 having an opposite conductivity type dopant are formed directly underneath a buried insulator layer 20 of the (SOI) substrate. The first doped semiconductor regions 18 and the second doped semiconductor regions 28 are electrically grounded or forward-biased relative to the bottom semiconductor layer at a voltage that is insufficient to cause excessive current due to forward-biased injection of minority carriers into the bottom semiconductor layer, i.e., at a potential difference not exceeding 0.6V to 0.8V. The electrical charges formed in an induced charge layer by the electrical signal in semiconductor devices on the top semiconductor layer are drawn through electrical contacts connected to the first and the second doped semiconductor regions, thereby reducing harmonic signals in the semiconductor devices.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and a structure for avoiding a floating body effect in an SOI structure. SOLUTION: A semiconductor device includes SOI FETs which include silicon bodies on an insulating layer on a conductive substrate. Gate dielectrics and gates are formed on the surfaces of the silicon bodies, and sources and drains are formed on two sides of the gates. Buried body contacts to substrate conductors are formed under the third side of the gate. The buried body contacts do not extend to the upper face of the silicon bodies. The buried body contacts are separated from the gates by second dielectrics whose thicknesses are generally larger than the thicknesses of the first gate dielectrics. The buried body contacts are plugs made of conductive materials, and the second dielectrics cover the body contacts under the gates. The FETs can be used in a SRAM circuit or any other type of circuit having the silicon on insulator(SOI) structure.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To achieve a semiconductor with an improved embedded resistor and an embedder capacitor by arranging a polysilicon gate on the region of a resistance element and arranging a separation layer between the polysilicon gate and the resistance element. SOLUTION: A semiconductor device includes a substrate, a characteristic polysilicon gate 58, a resistance element, and a separation layer. The polysilicon gate 58 is arranged on the region of the resistance element, and the separation layer is arranged between the polysilicon gate 58 and the resistance element. Also, an embedded resistor 52 is an N-type dope and is provided with a P well 64. The diffusion resistor 52 is an N-type doping. Input 54 and output 56 are in electrical contact. An N-type source doping/drain doping 60 is located at the lower side of the region of the input 54 and the output 56. Since the P well in placed away from the lower portion of the diffusion resistor 52, parasitic junction capacitance is low. Therefore, the execution is simple, so that the change costs of a device does not become too high.
