20 Apr 2005TL;DR: In this paper, a semiconductor device consisting of a substrate comprising germanium and a barrier layer comprising a first material that has a higher bandgap (Eg) than Germanium is presented.
Abstract: A semiconductor device (101) is provided herein which comprises a substrate (103) comprising germanium. The substrate has source (107) and drain (109) regions defined therein. A barrier layer (111) comprising a first material that has a higher bandgap (Eg) than germanium is disposed at the boundary of at least one of said source and drain regions. At least one of the source and drain regions comprises germanium.

02 May 2000TL;DR: In this paper, an n-channel and p-channel device are formed from a single epitaxial silicon layer (60,61) by adding dopants to the reaction chamber and subsequently changing the dopant concentration during the formation of the channel region.
Abstract: An n-channel device (10) and a p-channel device (11) are formed from a single epitaxial silicon layer (60,61). During the deposition of the single epitaxial silicon layer (60,61), dopants are added to the epitaxial reaction chamber and subsequently changed to define a drain region (24,33), a channel region (27,34), and a source region (30,35). The dopant concentration is modified during the formation of the channel region (27,34) to create a doping profile (50). The doping profile (50) has a first profile (51) that is constant and a second profile (52) that changes.

29 Nov 1993TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a method and apparatus for performing multiplexed and non-multiplexed bus cycles in a data processing system, without requiring the system to be reset.
Abstract: Method and apparatus for performing multiplexed and non-multiplexed bus cycles in a data processing system (10). The present invention allows a data processing system (10) to switch from multiplexed bus cycles to non-multiplexed bus cycles, and vice-versa, without requiring the data processing system (10) to be reset. In one embodiment of the present invention, a single user programmable control bit (90) is used to select whether an external bus cycle will be multiplexed or non-multiplexed. In more complex embodiments of the present invention, the ability to switch between multiplexed external bus cycles and non-multiplexed external bus cycles may be achieved by way of a plurality of user programmable register fields (96, 100, 102, and 104) located in registers 44. The plurality of user programmable register fields (96, 100, 102, and 104) may be associated with one or more chip select signals.

16 Oct 2001TL;DR: In this paper, a micro electro-mechanical system with variable capacitance is presented, which is controllable over the full dynamic range and not subject to the "snap effect" common in the prior art.
Abstract: A micro electro-mechanical systems device having variable capacitance is controllable over the full dynamic range and not subject to the “snap effect” common in the prior art. The device features an electrostatic driver ( 120 ) having a driver capacitor of fixed capacitance ( 121 ) in series with a second driver capacitor of variable capacitance ( 126 ). A MEMS variable capacitor ( 130 ) is controlled by applying an actuation voltage potential to the electrostatic driver ( 120 ). The electrostatic driver ( 120 ) and MEMS variable capacitor ( 130 ) are integrated in a single, monolithic device.

10 Nov 2003TL;DR: In this paper, a nanoclusters are added to the transistor channel to control the charge storage layers via the three gate regions to create a universal memory process for both volatile and nonvolatile memory cells.
Abstract: A transistor (10) is formed having three separately controllable gates (44, 42, 18). The three gate regions may be electrically biased differently and the gate regions may have different conductivity properties. The dielectrics on the channel sidewall may be different than the dielectrics on the top of the channel. Electrical contacts to source, drain and the three gates is selectively made. By including charge storage layers, such as nanoclusters, adjacent the transistor channel and controlling the charge storage layers via the three gate regions, both volatile and non-volatile memory cells are realized using the same process to create a universal memory process. When implemented as a volatile cell, the height of the transistor and the characteristics of channel sidewall dielectrics control the memory retention characteristics. When implemented as a nonvolatile cell, the width of the transistor and the characteristics of the overlying channel dielectrics control the memory retention characteristics.
