    摘要: A silicon-on-insulator semiconductor device, including a silicon-on-insulator wafer having a silicon active layer, a dielectric isolation layer a silicon substrate, and at least one isolation trench defining an active island in the silicon active layer, in which the silicon active layer is formed on the dielectric insulation layer and the dielectric insulation layer is formed on the silicon substrate, in which the at least one isolation trench includes a layer of a passivating insulator in a lower portion of the isolation trench and in contact with the dielectric insulation layer. The passivating insulator prevents formation of a bird's beak between the silicon active layer and the dielectric insulation layer during subsequent fabrication of the isolation trench.

    摘要: Asymmetric transistors may be formed by creating pocket implants on one source-drain terminal of a transistor and not the other. Asymmetric transistors may also be formed using dual-gate structures having first and second gate conductors of different work functions. Stacked transistors may be formed by stacking two transistors of the same channel type in series. One of the source-drain terminals of each of the two transistors is connected to a common node. The gates of the two transistors are also connected together. The two transistors may have different threshold voltages. The threshold voltage of the transistor that is located higher in the stacked transistor may be provided with a lower threshold voltage than the other transistor in the stacked transistor. Stacked transistors may be used to reduce leakage currents in circuits such as memory cells. Asymmetric transistors may also be used in memory cells to reduce leakage.

    摘要: According to one exemplary embodiment, a FET which is situated over a substrate, comprises a channel situated in the substrate. The FET further comprises a first gate dielectric situated over the channel, where the first gate dielectric has a first coefficient of thermal expansion. The FET further comprises a first gate electrode situated over the first gate dielectric, where the first gate electrode has a second coefficient of thermal expansion, and where the second coefficient of thermal expansion is different than the first coefficient of thermal expansion so as to cause an increase in carrier mobility in the FET. The second coefficient of thermal expansion may be greater that the first coefficient of thermal expansion, for example. The increase in carrier mobility may be caused by, for example, a tensile strain created in the channel.
