20140370668 | METHOD OF MAKING A TRANSITOR - The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a transistor comprising the preparation of a stack of layers of the semiconductor on insulator type comprising at least one substrate on which an insulating layer and an initial semiconductor layer are successively disposed. The method includes the formation of at least one oxide pad extending from a top face of the insulating layer, the formation of an additional layer made from semiconductor material covering the oxide pad and intended to form a channel for the transistor, the formation of a gate stack above the oxide pad, and the formation of a source and drain on either side of the gate stack. | 12-18-2014 |
20150091089 | AIR-SPACER MOS TRANSISTOR - A MOS transistor has a gate insulator layer that is made of a material of high dielectric constant deposited on a substrate. The gate insulator layer extends, with a constant thickness, under and beyond a gate stack. Spacers of low dielectric constant are formed on either side of the gate stack and vertically separated from the substrate by the extension of the gate insulator layer beyond the sides of the gate stack. The spacers of low dielectric constant are preferably air spacers. | 04-02-2015 |
