  • Patent number: 9437713
    Abstract: Devices and methods for forming semiconductor devices with wider FinFETs for higher tunability of the varactor are provided. One method includes, for instance: obtaining an intermediate semiconductor device; applying a spacer layer over the semiconductor device; etching the semiconductor device to remove at least a portion of the spacer layer to expose the plurality of mandrels; removing the mandrels; etching the semiconductor device to remove a portion of the dielectric layer; forming at least one fin; and removing the spacer layer and the dielectric layer. One intermediate semiconductor device includes, for instance: a substrate; a dielectric layer over the substrate; a plurality of mandrels formed on the dielectric layer, the mandrels including a first set of mandrels and a second set of mandrels, wherein the first set of mandrels have a width twice as large as the second set of mandrels; and a spacer layer applied over the mandrels.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 17, 2014
    Date of Patent: September 6, 2016
    Assignee: GLOBALFOUNDRIES INC.

  • Patent number: 8962421
    Abstract: A method for fabricating a FinFET integrated circuit includes depositing a first polysilicon layer at a first end of a diffusion region and a second polysilicon layer at a second end of the diffusion region; diffusing an n-type material into the diffusion region to form a diffused resistor; and epitaxially growing a silicon material between the first and second polysilicon layers to form fins structures over the diffused resistor and spanning between the first and second polysilicon layers.
