Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An integrated circuit comprising an N+ type layer, a buffer layer arranged on the N+ type layer; a P type region formed on with the buffer layer; an insulator layer overlying the N+ type layer, a silicon layer overlying the insulator layer, an embedded RAM FET formed in the silicon layer and connected with a conductive node of a trench capacitor that extends into the N+ type layer, the N+ type layer forming a plate electrode of the trench capacitor, a first contact through the silicon layer and the insulating layer and electrically connecting to the N+ type layer, a first logic RAM FET formed in the silicon layer above the P type region, the P type region functional as a P-type back gate of the first logic RAM FET, and a second contact through the silicon layer and the insulating layer and electrically connecting to the P type region.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An integrated circuit comprising field effect transistors (FETs) at least some of which comprise a part of random access memory (RAM) and logic devices, comprising: an N+ type layer; a buffer layer arranged on and in contact with the N+ type layer; a P type region formed on and in contact with the buffer layer; an insulator layer overlying the N+ type layer; a silicon layer overlying the insulator layer; an embedded dynamic RAM FET formed in the si…
