Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a dual-gate field effect transistor (DGFET) structure which can noticeably reduce the parasitic capacitance under its source/drain region, and its manufacturing method. SOLUTION: This double-gate field effect transistor (DGFET) adopts new two means for reducing the parasitic capacitance under its source/drain region. One means is as follows: a silicon region outside a gate is converted into an oxide 44, while a silicon/ledge 46 adjacent to the gate 58 is protected with a first spacer having a first width. This oxidation can be performed easily by means of implantation of self-aligned oxygen ions or other ions. The other means is to have the first spacer removed and replaced with a second spacer 48 which has a width smaller than that of the first one, and a new silicon source/drain region 60 formed under a self-aligned isolation region 56 by lateral selective full overgrowth, by using the newly exposed silicon/ledge 46 as a seed. Thus, the capacitance value of a backplane 32 can be decreased, while the control of the threshold voltage is retained. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a vertical FET including a nanowire channel, with the access resistance to the lower contact reduced and the gate length controlled. SOLUTION: A vertical FET structure, having a nanowire which constitutes a FET channel, is disclosed. A nanowire is formed on a conductive silicide layer. The nanowire is controlled by a gate surrounding it. Upper and lower insulating plugs function as gate spacers and make the gate-source capacitance and the gate-drain capacitance reduced.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a dual gate field-effect transistor (DGFET) structure, with a significantly reduced parasitic capacity in the source/drain region and its formation method. SOLUTION: This dual-gate field-effect transistor reduces the parasitic capacity in the DGFET structure by being provided with a self-aligned isolation region 44. Furthermore, the parasitic capacity of the structure is further reduced, by enabling substantial oxidization to occur at a back gate, which is made possible by coating a silicon contained channel 18.

Abstract:
An indirectly induced tunnel emitter for a tunneling field effect transistor (TFET) structure includes an outer sheath that at least partially surrounds an elongated core element, the elongated core element formed from a first semiconductor material; an insulator layer disposed between the outer sheath and the core element; the outer sheath disposed at a location corresponding to a source region of the TFET structure; and a source contact that shorts the outer sheath to the core element; wherein the outer sheath is configured to introduce a carrier concentration in the source region of the core element sufficient for tunneling into a channel region of the TFET structure during an on state.
Abstract:
Mode Selection Layer for Semiconductor Device A field effect transistor structure suitable for use in an array of such structures disposed on a common substrate is formed with a source terminal, a drain terminal, and a gate terminal upon an upper surface of a semiconductor chip. The chip includes a first layer and a second layer, the first layer being grown epitaxially upon the second layer. The first layer forms a part of the gate terminal and the second layer includes a charge conduction channel coupling the source terminal and the drain terminal. A pocket layer is disposed in the second layer beneath the terminals of the transistor structure and is doped with either an donor dopant or an acceptor dopant for altering the electric field at the conduction channel to insert electrons or remove electrons therefrom so as to convert an operating mode from either an enhancement mode to a depletion mode or from a depletion mode to an enchancement made. A substrate with a terminal on the backside thereof may be placed contiguous the bottom of said second layer, the back terminal being applied to a negative source of voltage for a transistor structure of n-channel format. The semiconductor material of the chip is a obtained from compounds of elements of the groups III and V of the periodic table.
Abstract:
An interconnection between a sublithographic-pitched structure and a lithographic pitched structure is formed. A plurality of conductive lines having a sublithographic pitch may be lithographically patterned and cut along a line at an angle less than 45 degrees from the lengthwise direction of the plurality of conductive lines. Alternately, a copolymer mixed with homopolymer may be placed into a recessed area and self-aligned to form a plurality of conductive lines having a sublithographic pitch in the constant width region and a lithographic dimension between adjacent lines at a trapezoidal region. Yet alternately, a first plurality of conductive lines with the sublithographic pitch and a second plurality of conductive lines with the lithographic pitch may be formed at the same level or at different.
