Abstract: Structures for a varactor diode and methods of forming same. The structure comprises a first semiconductor layer including a section on a substrate, a second semiconductor layer on the section of the first semiconductor layer, a third semiconductor layer on the second semiconductor layer, and a doped region in the section of the first semiconductor layer. The section of the first semiconductor layer and the doped region have a first conductivity type, and the second semiconductor layer comprises silicon-germanium having a second conductivity type opposite to the first conductivity type, and the third semiconductor layer has the second conductivity type. The doped region contains a higher concentration of a dopant of the first conductivity type than the section of the first semiconductor layer. The second semiconductor layer abuts the first section of the first semiconductor layer along an interface, and the doped region is positioned adjacent to the interface.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to semiconductor structures and, more particularly, to dummy fill structures and methods of manufacture. The structure includes: a passive device formed in interlevel dielectric material; and a plurality of metal dummy fill structures composed of at least one main branch and two extending legs from at least one side of the main branch, the at least two extending legs being positioned and structured to suppress eddy currents of the passive device.

Abstract: Structures including a passive device and methods of forming such structures. Multiple fins are positioned on a substrate, and an interconnect structure is positioned over the substrate. The fins contain a polycrystalline semiconductor material, and the interconnect structure includes a passive device that is positioned over the fins. The passive device may be, for example, an inductor or a transmission line.
