Abstract: A method to optimize the size and filling of decoupling capacitors for very large scale integrated circuits (VLSI) using existing lithographic fillers. The method combines the automatic or manual generation of lithographic fill patterns with the forming of the capacitors. According to the method, when the chip layout is about to be finished, all remaining empty space on the chip gets identified by a layout tool. Then, the closest power-supply nets get extracted. All power supplies and their combinations are sorted in a connection table which determines the appropriate types of capacitances once the power-supply nets closest to the empty spaces extracted from the layout. The empty spaces are then assigned appropriate decoupling capacitances. Decoupling capacitors generated by the method are suitable for VLSI power supplies for noise reduction.

Abstract: A memory device formed in a substrate having a trench with side walls formed in the substrate. The device includes a bit line conductor and a word line conductor. A signal storage node has a first electrode, a second electrode formed within the trench, and a node dielectric formed between the first and second electrodes. A signal transfer device has: (i) an annular signal transfer region with an outer surface adjacent the side walls of the trench, an inner surface, a first end, and a second end; (ii) a first diffusion region coupling the first end of the signal transfer region to the. second electrode of the signal storage node; (iii) a second diffusion region coupling the second end of the signal transfer region to the bit line conductor; (iv) a gate insulator coating the inner surface of the signal transfer region; and (v) a gate conductor coating the gate insulator and coupled to the word line. A conductive connecting member couples the signal transfer region to a reference voltage to reduce floating body effects.
