    Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to scaling of Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) cells. An SRAM cell include nMOS transistors on one level above pMOS transistors on a lower level. Transistors on the two levels can have overlapping footprints to save space. Additionally, the SRAM cell can use pMOS access transistors in place of nMOS access transistors to allow reuse of areas of the cell which would otherwise be used by the nMOS access transistors. In one approach, gate interconnects are provided in these areas, which have an overlapping footprint with underlying pMOS access transistors to save space. The SRAM cells can be connected to bit lines and word lines in overhead and/or bottom metal layers. In another aspect, SRAM cells of a column are connected to bit lines in an overlying M0 metal layer and an underlying BM0 metal layers to reduce capacitance.

    Abstract: Embodiments herein describe techniques for an integrated circuit (IC). The IC may include a lower device layer that includes a first transistor structure, an upper device layer above the lower device layer including a second transistor structure, and an isolation wall that extends between the upper device layer and the lower device layer. The isolation wall may be in contact with an edge of a first gate structure of the first transistor structure and an edge of a second gate structure of the second transistor structure, and may have a first width to the edge of the first gate structure at the lower device layer, and a second width to the edge of the second gate structure at the upper device layer. The first width may be different from the second width. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

    Abstract: Embodiments herein describe techniques for a semiconductor device including a carrier wafer, and an integrated circuit (IC) formed on a device wafer bonded to the carrier wafer. The IC includes a front end layer having one or more transistors at front end of the device wafer, and a back end layer having a metal interconnect coupled to the one or more transistors. One or more gaps may be formed by removing components of the one or more transistors. Furthermore, the IC includes a capping layer at backside of the device wafer next to the front end layer of the device wafer, filling at least partially the one or more gaps of the front end layer. Moreover, the IC includes one or more air gaps formed within the one or more gaps, and between the capping layer and the back end layer. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

    Abstract: Embodiments herein describe techniques for an integrated circuit (IC). The IC may include a first transistor, an insulator layer above the first transistor, and a second transistor above the insulator layer. The first transistor may be a p-type transistor including a channel in a substrate, a first source electrode, and a first drain electrode. A first metal contact may be coupled to the first source electrode, while a second metal contact may be coupled to the first drain electrode. The insulator layer may be next to the first metal contact, and next to the second metal contact. The second transistor may include a second source electrode, and a second drain electrode. The second source electrode may be coupled to the first metal contact, or the second drain electrode may be coupled to the second metal contact. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
