Approach for an area-efficient and scalable CMOS performance based on advanced Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI), Silicon-On-Sapphire (SOS) and Silicon-On-Nothing (SON) technologies
New, distinct, and useful architectures for single-legged SOI-MOS were established and fabricated for the very first time. They incorporated into their architectures an innovative new configuration to wire the device Body to the Body-Tied-Source. This new configuration drastically increased the conductance between the Body and the Body-Tied-Source. This consequently allowed these devices to effectively support much higher operating biases. Same configuration also functioned on structures with very large peripheries. These gave proportional increase in this same conductivity, and for same area-efficiency, with the increase of their peripheries to accommodate higher currents. The functional model that governs this proportional scaling in these new architectures for single-legged SOI-MOS devices was established and is being claimed through this patent for the very first time. Through it, single-legged SOI-MOS devices will efficiently scale to area-efficient ultra large peripheries with minimal hits to their bandwidth.

The body contact region includes a portion of the semiconductor layer between at least one of the plurality of first STI structures and at least one of the plurality of second STI structures.
ENHANCED BODY TIED TO SOURCE LOW NOISE AMPLIFIER DEVICE
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.
Approach for an Area-Efficient and Scalable CMOS Performance Based on Advanced Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI), Silicon-On-Sapphire (SOS) and Silicon-On-Nothing (SON) Technologies
The invention provides the guided design approach to optimize the device performance for a best area-efficient layout footprint in a single-leg MOS device that is based on any of the SOI, SOS or SON technologies. The design methodology depends on a new proprietary device architecture that is also being claimed in this patent and that allows the implementations of the design equations of our methodology.
FDSOI semiconductor structure and method for manufacturing the same
The present invention provides a method for manufacturing a semiconductor structure, which comprises following steps: providing a substrate, which comprises upwards in order a base layer, a buried isolation layer, a buried ground layer, an ultra-thin insulating buried layer and a surface active layer; implementing ion implantation doping to the buried ground layer; forming a gate stack, sidewall spacers and source/drain regions on the substrate; forming a mask layer on the substrate that covers the gate stack and the source/drain regions, and etching the mask layer to expose the source region; etching the source region and the ultra-thin insulating buried layer under the source region to form an opening that exposes the buried ground layer; filling the opening through epitaxial process to form a contact plug for the buried ground layer. Accordingly, the present invention further provides a semiconductor structure. The present invention proposes formation of a buried ground layer contact plug, which then connects buried ground layer electrically to source region, thereby enhancing control capabilities of a semiconductor device over threshold voltages, suppressing short-channel effects and improving device performance; whereas no independent contact is required to build for the buried ground layer, which then saves device area and simplifies manufacturing process accordingly.
