    Abstract: A self-aligned contact (SAC) and method for making the same is disclosed. In an aspect a field effect transistor (FET) structure comprises a channel connecting a first source or drain (S/D) region to a second S/D region, a gate structure, comprising a multi-layer metal gate between gate spacers, disposed above a gate region that at least partially surrounds the channel, a self-alignment structure, also referred to as a “hat”, disposed above the gate structure and covering at least the multi-layer metal gate and the gate spacers, and a first S/D contact that is self-aligned to the hat and connected to the first S/D region. During fabrication, a self-assembly monolayer (SAM) is used to precisely align the hat over the multi-layer metal gate. The S/D contacts are then self-aligned to the hat, even if the etch mask has an overlay error. The hat also shields the gate structure during an etch.

    Abstract: In certain aspects, an apparatus comprises a plurality of PUF cells. Each PUF cell comprises a first transistor in series with a first loading resistive component and coupled to a common cross-coupled node and cross-coupled to a complementary common cross-coupled node, a second transistor in series with a second loading resistive component and coupled to the complementary common cross-coupled node and cross-coupled to the common cross-coupled node, a first pass-gate and a second pass-gate coupled to a bit line and the complementary bit line, respectively. The apparatus further comprises an auxiliary peripheral circuit coupled to the bit line, the complementary bit line, the common cross-coupled node, and the complementary common cross-coupled node. During activation, the selected PUF cell, together with the auxiliary peripheral circuit, forms a cross-coupled inverter pair and outputs a physical unclonable function value.

    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to a semiconductor variable capacitor offering at least two types of capacitance tuning, as well as techniques for fabricating the same. For example, a CMOS-compatible silicon on insulator (SOI) process with a buried oxide (BOX) layer may provide a transcap with a front gate (above the BOX layer) and a back gate (beneath the BOX layer). The front gate may offer lower voltage, coarse capacitance tuning, whereas the back gate may offer higher voltage, fine capacitance tuning. By offering both types of capacitance tuning, such transcaps may provide greater capacitance resolution. Several variations of transcaps with front gate and back gate tuning are illustrated and described herein.
