Patent number: 9564488Abstract: A method of forming an isolation trench having localized stressors is provided. In accordance with embodiments of the present invention, a trench is formed in a substrate and partially filled with a dielectric material. In an embodiment, the trench is filled with a dielectric layer and a planarization step is performed to planarize the surface with the surface of the substrate. The dielectric material is then recessed below the surface of the substrate. In the recessed portion of the trench, the dielectric material may remain along the sidewalls or the dielectric material may be removed along the sidewalls. A stress film, either tensile or compressive, may then be formed over the dielectric material within the recessed portion. The stress film may also extend over a transistor or other semiconductor structure.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2014Date of Patent: February 7, 2017Assignee: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Ltd.Inventors: Mong-Song Liang, Tze-Liang Lee, Kuo-Tai Huang, Chao-Cheng Chen, Hao-Ming Lien, Chih-Tang Peng

Patent number: 9065249Abstract: A photonic-crystal surface-emitting laser (PCSEL) includes a gain medium electromagnetically coupled to a photonic crystal whose energy band structure exhibits a Dirac cone of linear dispersion at the center of the photonic crystal's Brillouin zone. This Dirac cone's vertex is called a Dirac point; because it is at the Brillouin zone center, it is called an accidental Dirac point. Tuning the photonic crystal's band structure (e.g., by changing the photonic crystal's dimensions or refractive index) to exhibit an accidental Dirac point increases the photonic crystal's mode spacing by orders of magnitudes and reduces or eliminates the photonic crystal's distributed in-plane feedback. Thus, the photonic crystal can act as a resonator that supports single-mode output from the PCSEL over a larger area than is possible with conventional PCSELs, which have quadratic band edge dispersion. Because output power generally scales with output area, this increase in output area results in higher possible output powers.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2014Date of Patent: June 23, 2015Assignee: Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyInventors: Song Liang Chua, Ling Lu, Marin Soljacic

Patent number: 9059310Abstract: A novel SRAM memory cell structure and method of making the same are provided. The SRAM memory cell structure comprises strained PMOS transistors formed in a semiconductor substrate. The PMOS transistors comprise epitaxial grown source/drain regions that result in significant PMOS transistor drive current increase. An insulation layer is formed atop an STI that is used to electrically isolate adjacent PMOS transistors. The insulation layer is substantially elevated from the semiconductor substrate surface. The elevated insulation layer facilitates the formation of desirable thick epitaxial source/drain regions, and prevents the bridging between adjacent epitaxial layers due to the epitaxial layer lateral extension during the process of growing epitaxial sour/drain regions. The processing steps of forming the elevated insulation layer are compatible with a conventional CMOS process flow.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2013Date of Patent: June 16, 2015Assignee: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Ltd.Inventors: Harry-Hak-Lay Chuang, Hung-Chih Tsai, Kong-Beng Thei, Mong-Song Liang
