Abstract:
Described herein are apparatuses, systems, and methods associated with a voltage regulator circuit that includes one or more thin-film transistors (TFTs). The TFTs may be formed in the back-end of an integrated circuit. Additionally, the TFTs may include one or more unique features, such as a channel layer treated with a gas or plasma, and/or a gate oxide layer that is thicker than in prior TFTs. The one or more TFTs of the voltage regulator circuit may improve the operation of the voltage regulator circuit and free up front-end substrate area for other devices. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
