    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.

    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for a semiconductor structure. In an aspect, a semiconductor structure includes a conductive element on an isolation structure, a dielectric film, a first contact structure, wherein at least a portion of the dielectric film is disposed between the conductive element and the first contact structure, and a second contact structure disposed on and electrically coupled with the conductive element. The dielectric film is configured as a resistive element with the first contact structure and the second contact structure being terminals of the resistive element after a dielectric breakdown has occurred within the portion of the dielectric film. Also, the dielectric film is configured as an insulator of a capacitive element with the first contact structure and the second contact structure being terminals of the capacitive element in a case that no dielectric breakdown has occurred within the portion of the dielectric film.
