Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods of forming solid state thermal engines that provides a closely-spaced thermal tunneling gap between a hot and cold electrode. The effective gap may be on the order of one nanometer. In one embodiment, a via is etched through a first side of first and second substrates, and metal electrodes are attached to a second side of the first and second substrates. The second sides are opposite the first sides. The metal electrodes are mated by bonding the second side of the first substrate to the second side second substrate. The gap may be formed by applying a voltage greater than a threshold voltage across the mated electrodes.
Abstract: The present invention provides a novel method for increasing the amount of deuterium incorporated into trap sites of a transistor device during a deuterium passivation anneal by electrically pre-stressing the fabricated device prior to a deuterium anneal. The method of the present invention equally applies to SOI and CMOS technology. As a result, the incorporation of more deuterium during a deuterium anneal in the process flow reduces the number of undesirable trap sites.
Abstract: A section separator region is formed in a semiconductor substrate in which a p-type well region has been formed, to separate the substrate into an I/O section and a core section. An oxide film and a plysilicon film are form at the I/O section, and pre-formation treatment is carried out. Then, an oxide film is formed over the exposed surface by the thermal oxidization. A metal film is formed on the oxide film. The metal film on the I/O section is moved. The polysilicon film and the metal film are patterned to be gate electrodes. Then, ion implantation is carried out to implant impurity into the exposed surface to form source/drain regions corresponding to the gate electrodes respectively.
Abstract: The present invention discloses a method of manufacturing a thin film transistor, including: depositing an amorphous silicon layer, an insulating layer, and a gate metal layer on a substrate sequentially; patterning the insulating layer and the gate metal layer to form a gate insulating layer and a gate electrode; treating an impurity and a catalyst metal on the amorphous silicon layer using the gate electrode as a mask; and applying a DC voltage to both terminals of the amorphous silicon layer to form a polysilicon layer, the polysilicon layer having source and drain regions and an active area.
Abstract: An improved structure and method for gated lateral bipolar transistors is provided. The present invention capitalizes on opposing sidewall structures and adjacent conductive sidewall members to conserve available surface space on the semiconductor chips. The conserved surface space allows a higher density of structures per chip. The conductive sidewall members couple to the gate of the gated lateral bipolar transistor and, additionally, to a retrograded, more highly doped bottom layer. The improved structure provides for both metal-oxide semiconductor (MOS) type conduction and bipolar junction transistor (BJT) type conduction beneath the gate of the gated lateral bipolar transistor.
Abstract: An electrostatic protected integrated circuit (IC) substrate and a method of making an integrated circuit package with the electrostatic protected IC substrate includes an IC substrate, having a plurality of electrical traces formed on the top of the IC substrate with the electrical traces extending from an IC chip mounting area near the center to the periphery of the IC substrate. Electrically shorting the electrical traces together with a conductive material such as conductive tape or epoxy, thereby, protecting the IC substrate against the accumulation of static charges during the assembly of the IC chip on the IC substrate. The IC chip is mounted in the mounting area on the IC substrate and the conductive material is removed before final testing.

Abstract: An antifuse structure is formed between two metal contacts in which a thin oxide layer is formed on the first or bottom metal, a shallow via is provided oxide layer and a layer of amorphous silicon is deposited over the thin oxide and into the shallow via without leaving the usual furrows in the amorphous silicon and thereby eliminating the step coverage problems of cusps forming in the subsequently applied second or top metal.
