Abstract:
The invention concerns a semiconductor structure comprising a substrate (10), an insulating layer (14) arranged on one surface of the substrate (10), a layer (18) for components arranged on one surface (16) of the insulating layer (14) opposite the substrate (10), a semiconductor component (30a, 30b) arranged in the layer (18) for components and zone designed for capacitively uncoupling said semiconductor component (30a, 30b) relative to the substrate (10), said zone being formed by a space charge zone (96) formed in a region of the substrate (10) adjacent to the insulating layer (14).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a bipolar transistor (20) and to a method for producing the same. In order to obtain an as low a transition resistance as possible between the feed line (51) and the base (42), an intermediate layer (70) is provided between the first (30) and the second (40) layer, said intermediate layer (70) being selectively etchable to the second layer (40). At least in the zone of the undercut (43) between the feed line (51) and the base (42) a base connection zone (45) is provided that can be adjusted independent of other production conditions. The inventive transistor is further characterized in that the intermediate layer (70) is removed in the contact zone (46) with the base (42).
Abstract:
A first source-drain region, a channel region, and a second source-drain region are arranged one after another in a semiconductor substrate. At least the surface of the channel region and parts of the first source-drain region are covered by a dielectric layer. A ferroelectric layer is disposed on the surface of the dielectric layer between two polarization electrodes. A gate electrode is arranged on the surface of the dielectric layer. The thickness of the dielectric layer is dimensioned such that a remanent polarization of the ferroelectric layer, which is aligned between the two polarization electrodes, produces compensation charges in part of the channel region. The ferroelectric transistor is suitable as a memory cell for a memory cell configuration.
Abstract:
A ferroelectric transistor suitable as a memory element has a first gate intermediate layer and a first gate electrode disposed on the surface of a semiconductor substrate and disposed between source/drain regions. The first gate intermediate layer contains at least one ferroelectric layer. In addition to the first gate intermediate layer, a second gate intermediate layer and a second gate electrode are configured between the source/drain regions. The second gate intermediate layer contains a dielectric layer. The first gate electrode and the second gate electrode are connected to each other via a diode structure.
Abstract:
Bipolar transistor comprises an emitter region (3) electrically contacted via an emitter electrode (1), a base region (4) electrically contacted via a base electrode (2), and a collector region (5) electrically contacted via a collector electrode. At least one of the electrodes contains silicon-germanium.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing a bipolar transistor having low base terminal resistance, a low defect density, and improved scalability, scalability referring to both the lateral scaling of the emitter window and the vertical scaling of the base width (low temperature budget). The temperature budget can be maintained at a low level in the base area, as no implantations are required in order to reduce the base terminal resistance. Furthermore, the difficulties related to point defects are largely avoided.
Abstract:
The mfg. method provides a fine structure at the surface of a substrate (1,2,3) using a cathodic vapour deposition process, effected with a process gas containing SiH4 and GeH4 in a carrier gas, for providing raised areas (4) determining the size of the fine structures. The raised areas act as a mask for an etching or implantation process and have a mean dia. and mean spacing of the order of between 1 and 100nm.
Abstract:
A storage capacitor for a DRAM has a dielectric composed of silicon nitride and has at least two electrodes disposed opposite one another across the dielectric. A material having a high tunneling barrier between the Fermi level of the material and the conduction band of the dielectric is used for the electrodes. Suitable materials for the electrodes are metals such as platinum, tungsten and iridium or silicides.
