    摘要: In a semiconductor device, a first stack is positioned over substrate and includes a first pair of transistors and a second pair of transistors stacked over the substrate. A second stack is positioned over the substrate and adjacent to the first stack. The second stack includes a third pair of transistors and a fourth pair of transistors stacked over the substrate. A first capacitor is stacked with the first and second stacks. A second capacitor is positioned adjacent to the first capacitor and stacked with the first and second stacks. A first group of the transistors in the first and second stacks is coupled to each other to form a static random-access memory cell. A second group of the transistors in the first and second stacks is coupled to the first and second capacitors to form a first dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) cell and a second DRAM cell.

    摘要: A semiconductor device includes a first field-effect transistor positioned over a substrate, a second field-effect transistor stacked over the first field-effect transistor, a third field-effect transistor stacked over the second field-effect transistor, and a fourth field-effect transistor stacked over the third field-effect transistor. A bottom gate structure is disposed around a first channel structure of the first field-effect transistor and positioned over the substrate. An intermediate gate structure is disposed over the bottom gate structure and around a second channel structure of the second field-effect transistor and a third channel structure of the third field-effect transistor. A top gate structure is disposed over the intermediate gate structure and around a fourth channel structure of the fourth field-effect transistor. An inter-level contact is formed to bypass the intermediate gate structure from a first side of the intermediate gate structure, and arranged between the bottom gate structure and the top gate structure.

    摘要: A method of forming transistor devices is described that includes forming a first transistor plane on a substrate, the first transistor plane including at least one layer of epitaxial film adaptable for forming channels of field effect transistors, depositing a first insulator layer on the first transistor plane, depositing a first layer of polycrystalline silicon on the first insulator layer, annealing the first layer of polycrystalline silicon using laser heating. The laser heating increases grain size of the first layer of polycrystalline silicon. The method further includes forming a second transistor plane on the first layer of polycrystalline silicon, the second transistor plane being adaptable for forming channels of field effect transistors, depositing a second insulator layer on the second transistor plane, depositing a second layer of polycrystalline silicon on the second insulator layer, and annealing the second layer of polycrystalline silicon using laser heating.

    摘要: A 3D IC includes a substrate having a substrate surface, a first stack of semiconductor devices stacked along a thickness direction of the substrate, and a second stack of semiconductor devices stacked along the thickness direction of the substrate and provided adjacent to the first stack in a direction along the substrate surface. Each semiconductor device of the first and second stack includes a gate and a pair of source-drain regions provided on opposite sides of the respective gate, and each gate of the first and second stack is a split gate. A gate contact is physically connected to a first split gate of a first one of the semiconductor devices. The gate contact forms at least part of a local interconnect structure that electrically connects the first semiconductor device to a second semiconductor device in the 3D IC.

    摘要: A semiconductor device includes a first power rail, a first power input structure, a circuit and a first middle-of-line rail. The first power rail is formed in a first rail opening within a first isolation trench on a substrate. The first power input structure is configured to connect with a first terminal of a power source that is external of the semiconductor device to receive electrical power from the power source. The circuit is formed, on the substrate, by layers between the first power rail and the first power input structure. The first middle-of-line rail is formed by one or more of the layers that form the circuit. The first middle-of-line rail is configured to deliver the electrical power from the first power input structure to the first power rail, and the first power rail provides the electrical power to the circuit for operation.
