  • Patent number: 8507989
    Abstract: An extremely thin SOI MOSFET device on an SOI substrate is provided with a back gate layer on a Si substrate superimposed by a thin BOX layer; an extremely thin SOI layer (ETSOI) on top of the thin BOX layer; and an FET device on the ETSOI layer having a gate stack insulated by spacers. The thin BOX is formed under the ETSOI channel, and is provided with a thicker dielectric under source and drain to reduce the source/drain to back gate parasitic capacitance. The thicker dielectric portion is self-aligned with the gate. A void within the thicker dielectric portion is formed under the source/drain region. The back gate is determined by a region of semiconductor damaged by implantation, and the formation of an insulating layer by lateral etch and back filling with dielectric.

  • Patent number: 7772649
    Abstract: A masking layer is applied over a top semiconductor layer and patterned to expose in an opening a shallow trench isolation structure and a portion of a top semiconductor region within which a first source/drain region and a body is to be formed. Ions are implanted into a portion of a buried insulator layer within the area of the opening to form damaged buried insulator region. The shallow trench isolation structure is removed and the damaged buried insulator region is etched selective to undamaged buried insulator portions to form a cavity. A dielectric layer is formed on the sidewalls and the exposed bottom surface of the top semiconductor region and a back gate filling the cavity is formed. A contact is formed to provide an electrical bias to the back gate so that the electrical potential of the body and the first source/drain region is electrically modulated.

  • Patent number: 7474002
    Abstract: In the semiconductor device having a structure in which a plurality of layers are built-up by layers made of different materials or layers including various formed patterns, it is an object to provide a method which smoothing surface can be achieved without a polishing treatment by CMP method or a smoothing process by depositing a SOG film, a substrate material is not chosen, and the smoothing is simple and easy. In the semiconductor device in which a plurality of different layers are formed, smoothing surface can be achieved without the polishing treatment by the CMP method or the smoothing process by depositing the SOG film to a dielectric film formed on a dielectric film and a wring (electrode) or a semiconductor layer in a manner that an aperture portion is formed in the dielectric film, the wring (electrode) or the semiconductor layer is formed in the aperture portion.
