  • Patent number: 7638370
    Abstract: In a method for producing an electronic component, a first doped connection region and a second doped connection region are formed on or above a substrate; a body region is formed between the first doped connection region and the second doped connection region; at least two gate regions separate from one another are formed on or above the body region; at least one partial region of the body region is doped by means of introducing dopant atoms, wherein the dopant atoms are introduced into the at least one partial region of the body region through at least one intermediate region formed between the at least two separate gate regions.

  • Publication number: 20090250763
    Abstract: An integrated circuit is disclosed. In one embodiment, the integrated circuit includes a first area and a second area. The first area is stress engineered to provide enhanced mobility in a first channel that has a first width. The second area is stress engineered to provide enhanced mobility in a second channel that has a second width. The first channel and the second channel provide a combined current that is greater than a single current provided via a single channel having a single width that is substantially equal to the sum of the first width and the second width.

  • Patent number: 7482663
    Abstract: A semiconductor circuit arrangement includes at least one first and a second field effect transistor, where the field effect respectively have at least two active regions with, respectively, a source region, a drain region and an intermediate channel region, the surface of the channel regions having a gate formed on it, insulated by a gate dielectric, for actuating the channeel regions. At least one active region of the second field effect transistor is arranged between the at least two active regions of the first field effect transistor, which results in a reduced mismatch between the two transistors, caused by temperature and local distances.

  • Publication number: 20070181942
    Abstract: The invention relates to a semiconductor circuit arrangement having at least one first and a second field effect transistor (T1, T2), where the field effect transistors respectively have at least two active regions (AA11 to AA22) with, respectively, a source region, a drain region and an intermediate channel region, the surface of the channel regions having a gate (G11 to G22) formed on it, insulated by a gate dielectric, for the purpose of actuating the channel regions. At least one active region (AA22) of the second field effect transistor (T2) is arranged between the at least two active regions (AA11, AA12) of the first field effect transistor (T1), which results in a reduced mismatch between the two transistors, caused by temperature and local distances.
