    Abstract: Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a deep trench isolation structure. This deep trench isolation structure is formed on a semiconductor substrate having an upper semiconductor surface. A deep trench, which has a deep trench width as measured between opposing deep trench sidewalls, extends into the semiconductor substrate beneath the upper semiconductor surface. A fill material is formed in the deep trench, and a dielectric liner is disposed on a lower surface and sidewalls of the deep trench to separate the fill material from the semiconductor substrate. A shallow trench region has sidewalls that extend upwardly from the sidewalls of the deep trench to the upper semiconductor surface. The shallow trench region has a shallow trench width that is greater than the deep trench width. A dielectric material fills the shallow trench region and extends over top of the conductive material in the deep trench.

    Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a SOI substrate comprising a base substrate, an insulator layer, and a semiconductor device layer. Source and drain regions in the semiconductor device layer are spaced apart by a channel region in the semiconductor device layer. A gate electrode is disposed over the channel region and has a bottom surface that extends below a top surface of the semiconductor device layer. A sidewall spacer structure extends along outer sidewalls of the gate electrode and has a bottom surface that rests on the top surface of the semiconductor device layer. A gate dielectric separates the channel region from the bottom surface of the gate electrode and contacts the bottom surface of the sidewall spacer structure. The channel region beneath the bottom surface of the gate electrode corresponds to the semiconductor device layer and has a thickness of less than 40 angstroms.

    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present application are directed to a method for forming an embedded memory boundary structure with a boundary sidewall spacer. In some embodiments, an isolation structure is formed in a semiconductor substrate to separate a memory region from a logic region. A multilayer film is formed covering the semiconductor substrate. A memory structure is formed on the memory region from the multilayer film. An etch is performed into the multilayer film to remove the multilayer film from the logic region, such that the multilayer film at least partially defines a dummy sidewall on the isolation structure. A spacer layer is formed covering the memory structure, the isolation structure, and the logic region, and further lining the dummy sidewall. An etch is performed into the spacer layer to form a spacer on dummy sidewall from the spacer layer. A logic device structure is formed on the logic region.

    Abstract: In some methods, a first recess is etched in a selected region of a substrate. A first polymer liner is formed on sidewalls and a bottom surface of the first recess. A portion of the first polymer liner is removed from the bottom surface, and a remaining portion of the first polymer liner is left along the sidewalls. The first recess is deepened to establish a second recess while the remaining portion of the first polymer liner is left along the sidewalls. A first oxide liner is formed along the sidewalls and along sidewalls and a bottom surface of the second recess. A portion of the first oxide liner is removed from a bottom surface of the second recess, while a remaining portion of the first oxide liner is left on the sidewalls of the first recess and the sidewalls of the second recess.

    Abstract: In some embodiments, the present disclosure relates to a modulator device that includes an input terminal configured to receive impingent light. A first waveguide has a first output region and a first input region that is coupled to the input terminal. A second waveguide is optically coupled to the first waveguide and has second input region and a second output region that is coupled to the input terminal. An output terminal coupled to the first output region of the first waveguide and the second output region of the second waveguide is configured to provide outgoing light that is modulated. A heater structure is configured to provide heat to the first waveguide to induce a temperature difference between the first and second waveguides. A gas-filled isolation structure is proximate to the heater structure and is configured to thermally isolate the second waveguide from the heat provided to the first waveguide.

    Abstract: In some embodiments, the present disclosure relates to a method of forming a package assembly. A wet etch stop layer is formed over a frontside of a semiconductor substrate. A sacrificial semiconductor layer is formed over the wet etch stop layer, and a dry etch stop layer is formed over the sacrificial semiconductor layer. A stack of semiconductor device layers may be formed over the dry etch stop layer. A bonding process is performed to bond the stack of semiconductor device layers to a frontside of an integrated circuit die, wherein the frontside of the semiconductor substrate faces the frontside of the integrated circuit die. A wet etching process is performed to remove the semiconductor substrate, and a dry etching process is performed to remove the wet etch stop layer and the sacrificial semiconductor layer.
