Abstract:
Certain aspects provide a three-dimensional integrated circuit (3DIC) and techniques for fabricating a 3DIC. For example, certain aspects provide a semiconductor device that generally includes one or more first integrated circuits (ICs), a first plurality of pads coupled to components of the one or more first ICs, one or more second ICs, forming glass (FG) material disposed adjacent to the one or more second ICs, and a second plurality of pads, wherein at least one of the second plurality of pads is coupled to components of the one or more second ICs, and wherein at least a portion of the first plurality of pads is bonded to at least a portion of the second plurality of pads.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to a transistor having a self-aligned drift region and asymmetric spacers. One example transistor generally includes a channel region; a gate region disposed above the channel region; a first implant region; a second implant region having a same doping type as the first implant region, but a different doping type than the channel region; a first spacer disposed adjacent to a first side of the gate region; a second spacer disposed adjacent to a second side of the gate region and having a wider width than the first spacer; and a drift region having an edge vertically aligned with an edge of the second spacer and disposed between the channel region and the second implant region. The channel region may be disposed between the first implant region and the drift region.
Abstract:
A semiconductor device comprises a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) device and a heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) integrated on a single die. The CMOS device may comprise silicon. The HBT may comprise III-V materials. The semiconductor device may be employed in a radio frequency front end (RFFE) module to reduce size and parasitics of the RFFE module and to provide cost and cycle time savings.
Abstract:
A tunable capacitor may include a first terminal having a first semiconductor component with a first polarity. The tunable capacitor may also include a second terminal having a second semiconductor component with a second polarity. The second component may be adjacent to the first semiconductor component. The tunable capacitor may further include a first conductive material electrically coupled to a first depletion region at a first sidewall of the first semiconductor component.
Abstract:
A method includes forming a first gate oxide in a first region and in a second region of a wafer. The method further includes performing first processing to form a second gate oxide in the second region. The second gate oxide has a different thickness than the first gate oxide. The method also includes forming first gate material of a first device in the first region and forming second gate material of a second device in the second region. The first device corresponds to a first radio frequency (RF) band and the second device corresponds to a second RF band that is different from the first RF band.
Abstract:
In one aspect, a MOS transistor includes a first diffusion region of a first doping type, a tap region of a second doping type configured to contact the first diffusion region, a channel region configured to substantially surround the first diffusion region and the tap region, and a second diffusion region of the first doping type configured to substantially surround the channel region. In another aspect, a method for manufacturing a MOS transistor includes, forming a first diffusion region of a first doping type, forming a tap region of a second doping type contacting the first diffusion region, forming a second diffusion region of the first doping type substantially surrounding the first diffusion region and the tap region, and forming a gate electrode substantially surrounding the first diffusion region and the tap region.
