Title: Cheng-Kuo Wen: Innovator in Semiconductor Technology
Introduction
Cheng-Kuo Wen is a prominent inventor based in Hsinchu, Taiwan. He has made significant contributions to the field of semiconductor technology, holding a total of 4 patents. His work focuses on advanced methods for fabricating silicon-on-insulator (SOI) devices, which are crucial for modern electronic applications.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Method for forming SOI device." This invention provides a method for forming a substrate contact on a silicon-on-insulator wafer that can be integrated with the fabrication process of SOI devices without requiring additional processing after wafer dicing. This method is applicable in various advanced packaging technologies, such as flip chip and die stacking, allowing for direct contact to the silicon substrate via the front of the diced SOI wafer.
Another notable patent is "Silicide gate transistors and method of manufacture." This method describes a process in which a gate and raised source/drain (S/D) regions are fully silicided in separate steps to prevent degradation of resistance or junction leakage. The process involves forming a gate dielectric layer, gate, and spacers over a semiconductor layer, followed by the formation of raised S/D regions through selective epitaxy. The invention also includes an SOI transistor with silicided raised S/D regions and a fully silicided, optionally recessed gate.
