  • Patent number: 7791160
    Abstract: A fast FET, a method and system for designing the fast FET and a design structure of the fast FET. The method includes: selecting a reference design for a field effect transistor, the field effect transistor including a source, a drain, a channel between the source and drain, a gate electrode over the channel, at least one source contact to the source and at least one contact to the drain, the at least one source contact spaced a first distance from the gate electrode and the at least one drain contact spaced a second distance from the gate electrode; and adjusting the first distance and the second distance to maximize a performance parameter of the field effect transistor to create a fast design for the field effect transistor.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20090057742
    Abstract: A varactor and method of fabricating the varactor. The varactor includes a silicon body in a silicon layer of an SOI substrate; a polysilicon electrode comprising a gate region and a plate region separated from the body by a gate dielectric layer, the gate and plate regions contiguous, the electrode electrically connected to a first pad; and a source formed in the body on a first side of the gate region, a drain formed in the body on a second and opposite side of the gate region, and a body contact formed in the body on a side of the plate region away from the gate region, the source, drain and body contact, separated from each other by regions of the body under the electrode, the source, drain and body contact electrically connected to each other and to a second pad.
