Abstract: Disclosed is an integrated circuit (IC) with an inductor formed from redistribution layers (RDLs). An airgap is provided in an interlayer dielectric (ILD) under the bottom most RDL that makes up the inductor. In this way, an inductor with high Q value is achieved. Also, inductor isolation is improved. Thus, circuits may be placed under the inductor resulting is a smaller die.

Abstract: A radio frequency (RF) device is described. The RF device includes a semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) substrate having a first-type diffusion region. The RF device also includes a transistor including a source region and a drain region in the first-type diffusion region, a gate region between the source region and the drain region, and a body region. The RF device further includes a second-type diffusion region, comprising a gate overlap region partially overlapped by the gate region to define the body region and a second-type diffusion encroachment region in the source region and adjoining the gate overlap region to form a body terminal region, in which a silicidation layer shorts the body terminal region to the source region.

Abstract: Disclosed are secure anti-fuse one-time programmable (OTP) bit cells. In an aspect, an OTP bit cell includes a P− well comprising an N+ region and a P+ region, a first contact electrically coupled to the N+ region of the P− well, a second contact electrically coupled to the P+ region of the P− well, an insulating layer disposed over a portion of the N+ region, a portion of the P− well, and a portion of the P+ region, a gate structure disposed over the insulating layer, and a third contact electrically coupled to the gate structure. In an unprogrammed mode, the insulating layer creates a high resistance between the third contact and the second contact, and in a programmed mode, a rupture in the insulating layer creates a low resistance between the third contact and the second contact.
