  • Patent number: 7549870
    Abstract: An electrical interconnect device includes a substrate having opposite outer surfaces and an array of conductive elastomeric columns held by the substrate. Each of the columns have opposite ends that extend beyond respective ones of the outer surfaces of the substrate. Conductive contact caps are disposed over the opposite ends of each said column. An electrical path is defined from one of the contact caps, through the conductive elastomeric column, to another of the contact caps. Optionally, the contact caps may be sized and shaped substantially similarly as the ends of the elastomeric columns. The contact caps may be adhered to the ends of the columns, or alternatively, the contact caps may be adhered to the substrate.

  • Patent number: 6004852
    Abstract: An LDD source/drain region is manufactured adjacent a gate electrode using a single ion implantation step. The method begins by providing a polysilicon gate electrode on a gate oxide over a substrate and then providing a thin, layer of CVD oxide over the gate electrode and over the substrate. A thicker, second layer of a material different from the first silicon oxide layer is deposited over the device and is etched back to form sidewall spacer structures alongside and spaced slightly from the gate electrode. The spacer structures formed from the second layer are then used as a mask to etch the oxide layer where it is exposed over the active regions of the substrate and then the spacer structures are removed. The portion of the oxide layer that remains over the top and sides of the gate electrode and over portions of the substrate adjacent the gate electrode is then used as a mask for an ion implantation process.

  • Patent number: 5933748
    Abstract: A shallow trench isolation process provides a high quality oxide on the substrate adjacent the trench and on the upper part of the trench. This process avoids the formation of poor quality oxide on the substrate adjacent the upper edge of the trench that is believed to cause MOS transistors to exhibit the undesirable subthreshold current flow known as the "kink" effect. A pad oxide layer is grown on the surface of a silicon substrate and then a layer of silicon nitride is formed on the surface of the pad oxide. A photoresist mask is formed over the silicon nitride and the silicon nitride and pad oxide are etched, and then the substrate is etched to form a trench. The photoresist mask is removed, a layer of polysilicon is deposited over the silicon nitride layer and within the trench and the polysilicon layer is oxidized. CVD oxide is deposited to overfill the trench and then the excess CVD oxide and polysilicon oxide is removed by CMP, using the silicon nitride layer as an polish stop.
