  • Patent number: 11302471
    Abstract: An integrated transformer includes a primary winding and a secondary winding each having a spiral planar arrangement coils. A dielectric portion of dielectric material is interposed between the primary winding and the secondary winding. A field plate winding is electrically coupled with the primary winding. The field plate winding includes at least one field plate coil having a first lateral extension greater than a second lateral extension of a primary outer coil of the primary winding. The field plate coil is superimposed in plan view to the primary outer coil of the primary winding.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9111773
    Abstract: A three dimensional shallow trench isolation structure including sets of parallel trenches extending in two perpendicular directions may be formed by depositing a conformal deposition in a first set of parallel trenches, oxidizing the second set of trenches to enable selective deposition in said second set of trenches and then conformally depositing in said second set of trenches. In some embodiments, only one wet anneal, one etch back, and one high density plasma chemical vapor deposition step may be used to fill both sets of trenches.

  • Publication number: 20100221904
    Abstract: A non-volatile memory electronic device integrated on a semiconductor substrate includes non-volatile memory cells organized in a matrix, and circuitry associated therewith. Each memory cell includes a gate electrode projecting from the semiconductor substrate. Source and drain regions are formed in the semiconductor substrate and aligned with the gate electrodes. At least one portion of the gate electrodes are insulated from each other by air-gaps which are closed on top by a third non-conforming dielectric layer.

  • Patent number: 6953609
    Abstract: A high-density plasma process is proposed for depositing a layer of Silicon Nitride on a substrate in a plasma reactor. The process includes the steps of: providing a gas including precursor components of the Silicon Nitride, generating a plasma applying a radio-frequency power to the gas, and the plasma reacting with the substrate to deposit the layer of Silicon Nitride. The power applied to the gas is in the range from 2.5 kW to 4 kW.
