Abstract: An integrated circuit is provided that integrates an bulk FET and an SOI FET on the same chip, where the bulk FET includes a gate conductor over a gate oxide formed over a bulk substrate, where the gate dielectric of the bulk FET has the same thickness and is substantially coplanar with the buried insulating layer of the SOI FET. In a preferred embodiment, the bulk FET is formed from an SOI wafer by forming bulk contact trenches through the SOI layer and the buried insulating layer of the SOI wafer adjacent an active region of the SOI layer in a designated bulk device region. The active region of the SOI layer adjacent the bulk contact trenches forms the gate conductor of the bulk FET which overlies a portion of the underlying buried insulating layer, which forms the gate dielectric of the bulk FET.

Abstract: A method of forming diffusion sidewalls in a semiconductor structure and a semiconductor structure having diffusion sidewalls includes etching a trench into a semiconductor substrate to form first and second active regions, lining each trench with an oxide liner along exposed sidewalls of an active silicon region (RX) of the first and second active regions, removing the oxide liner formed along the exposed sidewalls of the RX region of one of the first and second active regions, forming diffusion sidewalls by epitaxially growing in-situ doped material within the exposed sidewalls of the RX region of the one of the first and second active regions, and forming an isolation region within the trench between the first and second active regions to electrically isolate the first and second active regions from each other.

Abstract: A semiconductor device is disclosed that includes a silicon-on-insulator substrate including a buried insulator layer and an overlying semiconductor layer. Source extension and drain extension regions are formed in the semiconductor layer. A deep drain region and a deep source region are formed in the semiconductor layer. A first metal-semiconductor alloy contact layer is formed using tilted metal formation at an angle tilted towards the source extension region, such that the source extension region has a metal-semiconductor alloy contact that abuts the substrate from the source side, as a Schottky contact therebetween and the gate shields metal deposition from abutting the deep drain region. A second metal-semiconductor alloy contact is formed located on the first metal-semiconductor layer on each of the source extension region and drain extension region.

Abstract: The transmission of high-speed data traffic in IPDLs at a base station of a cellular communications network is controlled. An IPDL is identified which occurs within a set of time slots of a given channel. The channel may comprise a dedicated time slot channel or a packet-oriented time slot channel. More specifically, the channel may comprise a Dedicated Physical Control Channel or a High Speed Downlink Shared Channel. The information within a time slot of the set is shifted. In accordance with one aspect of the invention, the information is shifted to a reduced portion of the time slot of the channel by reducing a spread spectrum factor for the signal carrying the information and increasing the transmission power of the signal. A remaining portion of the time slot spans at least a duration of the identified IPDL. In accordance with another aspect of the invention, the information within the time slot is shifted to another time slot of the channel.
