20080206939SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE WITH INTEGRATED RESISTIVE ELEMENT AND METHOD OF MAKING - A resistive device (08-28-2008
20080254586SOI SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE WITH BODY CONTACT AND METHOD THEREOF - A method including providing a substrate and providing an insulating layer overlying the substrate is provided. The method further includes providing a body region comprising a body material overlying the insulating layer. The method further includes forming at least one transistor overlying the insulating layer, the at least one transistor having a source, a drain and a gate with a sidewall spacer, the sidewall spacer comprising a substantially uniform geometric shape around the gate, the gate overlying the body region. The method further includes forming a first silicide region within the source and a second silicide region within the drain, the first silicide region having a differing geometric shape than the second silicide region and being electrically conductive between the body region and the source.10-16-2008
20080274601METHOD OF FORMING A TRANSISTOR HAVING MULTIPLE TYPES OF SCHOTTKY JUNCTIONS - A gate electrode is formed overlying a substrate. A first angled metal implant is performed at a first angle into the substrate followed by performing a second angled metal implant at a second angle. The first angled metal implant and the second angled metal implant form a first current electrode and a second current electrode. Each of the first current electrode and the second current electrode has at least two regions of differing metal composition. A metal layer is deposited overlying the gate electrode, the first current electrode and the second current electrode. The metal layer is annealed to form two Schottky junctions in each of the first current electrode and the second current electrode. The two Schottky junctions have differing barrier levels.11-06-2008
20090039418MULTIPLE DEVICE TYPES INCLUDING AN INVERTED-T CHANNEL TRANSISTOR AND METHOD THEREFOR - A method for making a semiconductor device is provided. The method includes forming a first transistor with a vertical active region and a horizontal active region extending on both sides of the vertical active region. The method further includes forming a second transistor with a vertical active region. The method further includes forming a third transistor with a vertical active region and a horizontal active region extending on only one side of the vertical active region.02-12-2009
20100230762 INTEGRATED CIRCUIT USING FINFETS AND HAVING A STATIC RANDOM ACCESS MEMORY (SRAM) - An integrated circuit includes a logic circuit and a memory cell. The logic circuit includes a P-channel transistor, and the memory cell includes a P-channel transistor. The P-channel transistor of the logic circuit includes a channel region. The channel region has a portion located along a sidewall of a semiconductor structure having a surface orientation of (110). The portion of the channel region located along the sidewall has a first vertical dimension that is greater than a vertical dimension of any portion of the channel region of the P-channel transistor of the memory cell located along a sidewall of a semiconductor structure having a surface orientation of (110).09-16-2010
20110012629REPLACEMENT-GATE-COMPATIBLE PROGRAMMABLE ELECTRICAL ANTIFUSE - After planarization of a gate level dielectric layer, a dummy structure is removed to form a recess. A first conductive material layer and an amorphous metal oxide are deposited into the recess area. A second conduct material layer fills the recess. After planarization, an electrical antifuse is formed within the filled recess area, which includes a first conductive material portion, an amorphous metal oxide portion, and a second conductive material portion. To program the electrical antifuse, current is passed between the two terminals in the pair of the conductive contacts to transform the amorphous metal oxide portion into a crystallized metal oxide portion, which has a lower resistance. A sensing circuit determines whether the metal oxide portion is in an amorphous state (high resistance state) or in a crystalline state (low resistance state).01-20-2011

20100072571EFFECTIVE EFUSE STRUCTURE - An electrically programmable fuse (eFuse) comprises a semiconductor layer, a silicide layer overlying the semiconductor layer, and first and second contact structures electrically coupled to the silicide layer. The first contact structure is configured to function as an anode and the second contact structure is configured to function as a cathode. The eFuse further comprises a back-gate structure disposed underneath the semiconductor layer in a back-gate structure region proximate the second contact structure, the back-gate structure region excluding a region proximate the first contact structure. Responsive to (i) a programming voltage potential supplied between the first and second contact structures and (ii) a voltage potential supplied to the back-gate structure, silicide of the silicide layer operates to migrate, with an enhanced migration, into the semiconductor layer from the cathode to the anode with an absence of silicide residue in at least the back-gate structure region of the semiconductor layer between the first and second contact structures.03-25-2010
