    摘要: An integrated circuit structure having a stacked transistor architecture includes a first semiconductor body (e.g., set of one or more nanoribbons) and a second semiconductor body (e.g., set of one or more nanoribbons) above the first semiconductor body. The first and second semiconductor bodies are part of the same fin structure. The distance between an upper surface of the first semiconductor body and a lower surface of the second semiconductor body is 60 nm or less. A first gate structure is on the first semiconductor body, and a second gate structure is on the second semiconductor body. An isolation structure that includes a dielectric material is between the first and second gate structures, and is on and conformal to a top surface of the first gate structure. In addition, a bottom surface of the second gate structure is on a top surface of the isolation structure, which is relatively flat.

    摘要: Techniques and mechanisms for operating transistors that are in a stacked configuration. In an embodiment, an integrated circuit (IC) device includes transistors arranged along a line of direction which is orthogonal to a surface of a semiconductor substrate. A first epitaxial structure and a second epitaxial structure are coupled, respectively, to a first channel structure of a first transistor and a second channel structure of a second transistor. The first epitaxial structure and the second epitaxial structure are at different respective levels relative to the surface of the semiconductor substrate. A dielectric material is disposed between the first epitaxial structure and the second epitaxial structure to facilitate electrical insulation of the channels from each other. In another embodiment, the stacked transistors are coupled to provide a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) inverter circuit.
