    摘要: By forming a direct contact structure connecting, for instance, a polysilicon line with an active region on the basis of an increased amount of metal silicide by removing the sidewall spacers prior to the silicidation process, a significantly increased etch selectivity may be achieved during the contact etch stop layer opening. Hence, undue etching of the highly doped silicon material of the active region would be suppressed. Additionally or alternatively, an appropriately designed test structure is disclosed, which may enable the detection of electrical characteristics of contact structures formed in accordance with a specified manufacturing sequence and on the basis of specific design criteria.

    摘要: By providing large area metal plates in combination with respective peripheral areas of increased adhesion characteristics, delamination events may be effectively monitored substantially without negatively affecting the overall performance of the semiconductor device during processing and operation. In some illustrative embodiments, dummy vias may be provided at the periphery of a large area metal plate, thereby allowing delamination in the central area while substantially avoiding a complete delamination of the metal plate. Consequently, valuable information with respect to mechanical characteristics of the metallization layer as well as process flow parameters may be efficiently monitored.

    摘要: By forming an additional doped region with increased junction depth at areas in which contact regions may connect to drain and source regions, any contact irregularities may be embedded into the additional doped region, thereby reducing the risk for leakage currents or short circuits between the drain and source region and the well region that may be conventionally caused by the contact irregularity. Moreover, additionally or alternatively, the surface topography of the semiconductor region and the adjacent isolation trench may be modified prior to the formation of metal silicide regions and contact plugs to enhance the lithography procedure for forming respective contact openings in an interlayer dielectric material. For this purpose, the isolation trench may be brought to an equal or higher level compared to the adjacent semiconductor region.

    摘要: A motor actuator of a climate control system includes an specialized electric motor with a motor housing enclosing an encoder ring on a motor shaft having a plurality of opposite encoder-segment sets with encoder brushes on the housing wiping the encoder ring and thereby forming an encoder circuit through opposite segments of the encoder-segment sets. The electric motor further includes power and encoder terminals positioned externally of the motor housing with at least one power terminal being electrically coupled to one of the power brushes and at least one encoder terminal being electrically coupled to one of the encoder brushes. A control head of the system includes a continuity pulse counter coupled to the at least one encoder terminal for creating pulses representative of impedance in the encoder circuit and, therefore, movement of the motor shaft and a damper linked thereto.
