    摘要: Described herein are three-dimensional nanoribbon-based logic ICs that include one of more of 1) individual gate control in a vertical stack of nanoribbons, 2) inter-ribbon interconnects in a vertical stack of nanoribbons, and 3) both P- and N-type nanoribbons in a vertical stack of nanoribbons. Using one or more of these features may help realize unique monolithic 3D logic architectures that were not possible with conventional logic circuits and may allow realizing logic devices with favorable metrics in terms of power and performance while preserving the substrate area and cost.

    摘要: High voltage transistors spanning multiple non-planar semiconductor bodies, such as fins or nanowires, are monolithically integrated with non-planar transistors utilizing an individual non-planar semiconductor body. The non-planar FETs may be utilized for low voltage CMOS logic circuitry within an IC, while high voltage transistors may be utilized for high voltage circuitry within the IC. A gate stack may be disposed over a high voltage channel region separating a pair of fins with each of the fins serving as part of a source/drain for the high voltage device. The high voltage channel region may be a planar length of substrate recessed relative to the fins. A high voltage gate stack may use an isolation dielectric that surrounds the fins as a thick gate dielectric. A high voltage transistor may include a pair of doped wells formed into the substrate that are separated by the high voltage gate stack with one or more fin encompassed within each well.

    摘要: An apparatus includes a first metal layer, a second metal layer and a dielectric material. The first metal layer has a first thickness and a second thickness less than the first thickness, and the first metal layer comprises a first interconnect having a first thickness. The dielectric material extends between the first and second metal layers and directly contacts the first and second metal layers. The dielectric material includes a via that extends through the dielectric material. A metal material of the via directly contacts the first interconnect and the second metal layer.

    摘要: Described herein are IC devices that include semiconductor nanoribbons stacked over one another to realize high-density three-dimensional (3D) dynamic random-access memory (DRAM). An example device includes a first semiconductor nanoribbon, a second semiconductor nanoribbon, a first source or drain (S/D) region and a second S/D region in each of the first and second nanoribbons, a first gate stack at least partially surrounding a portion of the first nanoribbon between the first and second S/D regions in the first nanoribbon, and a second gate stack, not electrically coupled to the first gate stack, at least partially surrounding a portion of the second nanoribbon between the first and second S/D regions in the second nanoribbon. The device further includes a bitline coupled to the first S/D regions of both the first and second nanoribbons.
