Semiconductor device including a repeater/buffer at upper metal routing layers and methods of manufacturing the same
Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes a series of metal routing layers and a complementary pair of planar field-effect transistors (FETs) on an upper metal routing layer of the metal routing layers. The upper metal routing layer is M3 or higher. Each of the FETs includes a channel region of a crystalline material. The crystalline material may include polycrystalline silicon. The upper metal routing layer M3 or higher may include cobalt.
