  • High speed low voltage semiconductor devices and method of fabrication
    Patent number: 6537867
    Abstract: A digit signal processor capable of operating at 100 MHZ with a 1.0 volt power supply. The digital signal processor is fabricated by application of strong phase-shift lithography to obtain a 0.12 &mgr;m gate dimension. A dual-mask process is utilized to improve resolution thereby producing high speed, low-voltage processors. A n+/p+ dual-Poly:Si module, and dopant penetration suppression techniques may be utilized.
