    摘要: Techniques for generating enhanced inductors and other electronic devices are presented. A device generator component (DGC) performs directed-self assembly (DSA) co-polymer deposition on a circular guide pattern formed in low-k dielectric film, and DSA annealing to form two polymers in the form of alternating concentric rings; performs a loop cut in the concentric rings to form concentric segments; fills the cut portion with insulator material; selectively removes first polymer, fills the space with low-k dielectric, and planarizes the surface; selectively removes the second polymer, fills the space with conductive material, and planarizes the surface; deposits low-k film on top of the concentric segments and insulator material that filled the loop cut portion; forms vias in the low-k film, wherein each via spans from an end of one segment to an end of another segment; and fills vias with conductive material to form conductive connectors to form substantially spiral conductive structure.

    摘要: Device and methods are provided for fabricating semiconductor devices in which metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitor devices are integrally formed with vertical field effect transistor (FET) devices. For example, a semiconductor device includes first and second vertical FET devices, and a capacitor device, formed in different device regions of a substrate. A gate electrode of the first FET device and a first capacitor electrode of the capacitor device are patterned from a same first layer of conductive material. A gate electrode of the second FET device and a second capacitor electrode of the capacitor device are patterned from a same second layer of conductive material. A gate dielectric layer of the second FET device and a capacitor insulator layer of the capacitor device are formed from a same layer of dielectric material.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention provide a circuit and method to characterize the impact of bias temperature instability on semiconductor devices. The circuit comprises a transistor having a gate, drain, source, and body terminal. Two AC pad sets each having a plurality of conductive pads. Two DC pads are in communication with a DC supply and/or meter. The gate terminal is in communication with a first conductive pad included in the plurality of conductive pads of each of the AC pad sets. The drain terminal is in communication with a second conductive pad of an AC pad set and the source terminal with a second conductive pad of another AC pad set. One DC pad is in communication with the gate terminal through a first serial resistor and another DC pad with the body terminal through a second serial resistor and provides an open-circuit for the gate and body terminals.

    摘要: High breakdown voltage devices are provided. In one aspect, a method of forming a device having a VTFET and a LDVTFET includes: forming a LDD in an LDVTFET region; patterning fin(s) in a VTFET region to a depth D1; patterning fin(s) in the LDVTFET region, through the LDD, to a depth D2>D1; forming bottom source/drains at a base of the VTFET/LDVTFET fins; burying the VTFET/LDVTFET fins in a gap fill dielectric; recessing the gap fill dielectric to full expose the VTFET fin(s) and partially expose the LDVTFET fin(s); forming bottom spacers directly on the bottom source/drains in the VTFET region and directly on the gap fill dielectric in the LDVTFET region; forming gates alongside the VTFET/LDVTFET fins; forming top spacers above the gates; and forming top source/drains above the top spacers. A one-step fin etch and devices having VTFET and long channel VTFETs are also provided.
