摘要： A method for reducing single event upsets in an integrated circuit includes the step of providing a plurality of levels within the integrated circuit, wherein the plurality of levels within the integrated circuit are in a stacked arrangement. The method also includes the step of providing a plurality of metal fill patterns within each of the plurality of levels within the integrated circuit. The method further includes the step of placing the plurality of metal fill patterns within at least one of the plurality of levels in a pattern such that a line of sight towards an active silicon layer does not exist within the stacked arrangement of the plurality of levels, thereby increasingly absorbing ionizing radiation particles, and thereby reducing single event upsets in the integrated circuit.

摘要： Each one of a pair of CMOS transistors is formed in its own island and a gate terminal for each transistor is formed by a single, in-line conductor connecting both gate terminals together. This type of “in-line” connection achieves nearly a five-time improvement in the reduction of the ability of ionizing radiation particles to strike both transistors at the same time as compared to prior art “side-by-side” transistor stacking through use of a relatively smaller solid angle spanning the two transistors. This results in “hardening” of the transistors and improving their resistance to single event upsets and, thus, improving the soft error rate (SER) of the transistors.

摘要： A D-Cache SRAM cell having a modified design in schematic and layout that exhibits increased symmetry from the circuit schematic and the physical cell layout perspectives. That is, the SRAM cell includes two read ports and minimizes asymmetry by provisioning one read port on a true side and one on the complement side. Asymmetry is additionally minimized in layout as cross coupling on both the true and complement sides rises up one level by providing from the local interconnect level a via connection to a M1 or metallization level. Moreover, the distance between the local interconnect (MC) and the gate conductor structure (PC) has been enlarged and equalized for each of the pFETs in the cross-latched SRAM cell. As a result, the SRAM cell has been rendered insensitive to overlay (local interconnect processing too close) by maximizing this MC-PC distance.
摘要翻译：具有改进的示意图和布局设计的D缓存SRAM单元，其显示出来自电路原理图和物理单元布局视角的增加的对称性。也就是说，SRAM单元包括两个读取端口，并且通过在真实侧提供一个读取端口和在补充端上提供一个读取端口来最小化不对称性。通过从本地互连级别提供通向M1或金属化级别的通孔连接，通过从真实和补偿侧两者的交叉耦合上升到一个级别，不对称性在布局中另外最小化。此外，局部互连（MC）和栅极导体结构（PC）之间的距离已经在交叉锁存SRAM单元中的每个pFET被放大和均衡。因此，通过最大化这个MC-PC距离，SRAM单元已经对覆盖（局部互连处理太近）变得不敏感。

摘要： Accordingly, the present invention provides a double gated transistor and a method for forming the same that results in improved device performance and density. The preferred embodiment of the present invention uses provides a double gated transistor with asymmetric gate doping, where one of the double gates is doped degenerately n-type and the other degenerately p-type. By doping on of the gates n-type, and the other p-type, the threshold voltage of the resulting device is improved. In particular, by asymmetrically doping the two gates, the resulting transistor can, with adequate doping of the body, have a threshold voltage in a range that enables low-voltage CMOS operation. For example, a transistor can be created that has a threshold voltage between 0V and 0.5V for nFETs and between 0 and −0.5V for pFETs.

摘要： A process for measuring the alignment of different layers on a semiconductor wafer (33) includes forming repetitive alignment marks (14, 24) having substantially the same period on the different layers on the wafer (33). The images of the overlay alignment marks (14, 24) are converted from space domain to frequency domain through Fourier transformations. The alignment measurements are performed by calculating the phase difference between the images corresponding to the repetitive patterns (14, 24) on different layers.
