摘要:
A semiconductor structure is provided that includes a semiconductor on insulator (SOI) substrate comprising a bottom semiconductor layer, an epitaxial semiconductor layer present on the bottom semiconductor layer, a buried insulator layer present on the epitaxial semiconductor layer, and a top semiconductor layer present on the buried insulator layer. A deep trench moat (DTMOAT) is disposed in the SOI substrate and has a bottom surface contacting a dopant region of the bottom semiconductor layer. A moat contact electrically connecting the DTMOAT to the epitaxial semiconductor layer of the SOI substrate. Charges accumulated in the DTMOAT can be discharged through the heavily doped epitaxial semiconductor layer to ground, thus preventing the DTMOAT failure caused by the process-induced charge accumulation.

Device structures for an anti-fuse and methods for manufacturing device structures for an anti-fuse. The anti-fuse includes a first terminal comprised of a fin. The fin includes a section with an edge and inclined surfaces that intersect at the edge. The anti-fuse further includes a second terminal covering the edge and the inclined surfaces of the fin, and an isolation dielectric layer on the inclined surfaces and the edge of the fin. The second terminal is separated from the edge and inclined surfaces of the fin by the isolation dielectric layer. The edge and inclined surfaces on the firm may be formed by oxidizing an upper section of the fin in a trench to form an oxide layer, and then removing the oxide layer to expose the edge and inclined surfaces.

A dielectric mandrel structure is formed on a single crystalline semiconductor layer. An amorphous semiconductor material layer is deposited on the physically exposed surfaces of the single crystalline semiconductor layer and surfaces of the mandrel structure. Optionally, the amorphous semiconductor material layer can be implanted with at least one different semiconductor material. Solid phase epitaxy is performed on the amorphous semiconductor material layer employing the single crystalline semiconductor layer as a seed layer, thereby forming an epitaxial semiconductor material layer with uniform thickness. Remaining portions of the epitaxial semiconductor material layer are single crystalline semiconductor fins and thickness of these fins are sublithographic. After removal of the dielectric mandrel structure, the single crystalline semiconductor fins can be employed to form a semiconductor device.

A nanoscale electrode device can be fabricated by forming a pair of semiconductor fins laterally spaced from each other by a uniform distance and formed on a substrate. The pair of semiconductor fins can function as a pair of electrodes that can be biased to detect the leakage current through a nanoscale string to pass therebetween. A nanochannel having a uniform separation distance is formed between the pair of semiconductor fins. The nanochannel may be defined by a gap between a pair of raised active regions formed on the pair of semiconductor fins, or between proximal sidewalls of the pair of semiconductor fins. An opening is formed through the portion of the substrate underlying the region of the nanochannel to enable passing of a nanoscale string.
摘要:
A stressor structure is formed within a drain region of an access transistor in a dynamic random access memory (DRAM) cell in a semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) substrate without forming any stressor structure in a source region of the DRAM cell. The stressor structure induces a stress gradient within the body region of the access transistor, which induces a greater leakage current at the body-drain junction than at the body-source junction. The body potential of the access transistor has a stronger coupling to the drain voltage than to the source voltage. An asymmetric etch of a gate dielectric cap, application of a planarization material layer, and a non-selective etch of the planarization material layer and the gate dielectric cap can be employed to form the DRAM cell.

The present invention relates generally to semiconductor devices and more particularly, to a structure and method of forming a junction butting region using low energy ion implantation to reduce parasitic leakage and body-to-body leakage between adjacent FETs that share a common contact in high density memory technologies, such as dynamic random access memory (DRAM) devices and embedded DRAM (eDRAM) devices. A method disclosed may include forming a junction butting region at the bottom of a trench formed in a semiconductor on insulator (SOI) layer using low energy ion implantation and protecting adjacent structures from damage from ion scattering using a protective layer.
