  • Patent number: 9412828
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a gate disposed over a substrate. The gate has a first gate portion of the gate including a gate dielectric and a gate electrode disposed above a first channel region and a second gate portion including a gate dielectric and a gate electrode disposed between the substrate and the first channel region and aligned with the first gate portion. A source and a drain region are disposed adjacent the gate. A dielectric layer is disposed on the substrate and has a first portion underlying at least some of the source, a second portion underlying at least some of the drain; and a third portion underlying at least some of the first channel, the first gate portion and the second gate portion.

  • Patent number: 8344498
    Abstract: A semiconductor device comprises: a semiconductor element; a support substrate arranged on a surface of the semiconductor element opposite to a surface thereof provided with a pad, the support substrate being wider in area than the semiconductor element; a burying insulating layer on the support substrate for burying the semiconductor element therein; a fan-out interconnection led out from the pad to an area on the burying insulating layer lying more peripherally outwardly than the semiconductor element; and a reinforcement portion arranged in a preset area on top of outer periphery of the semiconductor element for augmenting the mechanical strength of the burying insulating layer and the fan-out interconnection.
