Abstract: Techniques to form semiconductor devices can include one or more via structures having substrate taps. A semiconductor device includes a gate structure around or otherwise on a semiconductor region (or channel region). The gate structure may extend over the semiconductor regions of any number of devices along a given direction. The gate structure may be interrupted, for example, between two transistors with a via structure that extends through an entire thickness of the gate structure and includes a conductive core. The via structure has a conductive foot portion beneath the gate structure and a conductive arm portion extending from the conductive foot portion along a height of the gate structure. The conductive foot portion has a greater width along the given direction than any part of the conductive arm portion. The via structure may further include one or more dielectric layers between the conductive arm portion and the gate structure.

Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a first device, and a laterally adjacent second device. The first device includes a first body of semiconductor material extending laterally from a first source or drain region, a first gate structure on the first body, and a first contact extending vertically upward from the first source or drain region. The second device includes a second body of semiconductor material extending laterally from a second source or drain region, a second gate structure on the second body, and a second contact extending vertically upward from the second source or drain region. A gate cut structure including dielectric material is laterally between the first gate structure and the second gate structure, and also laterally between the first contact and the second contact. In some examples, a third contact extends laterally from the first contact to the second contact and passes over the gate cut structure.

Abstract: Described herein are IC devices that include TFT based memory arrays on both sides of a layer of logic devices. An example IC device includes a support structure (e.g., a substrate) on which one or more logic devices may be implemented. The IC device further includes a first memory cell on one side of the support structure, and a second memory cell on the other side of the support structure, where each of the first memory cell and the second memory cell includes a TFT as an access transistor. Providing TFT based memory cells on both sides of a layer of logic devices allows significantly increasing density of memory cells in a memory array having a given footprint area, or, conversely, significantly reducing the footprint area of the memory array with a given memory cell density.

Abstract: An IC device may include one or more vias for delivering power to one or more transistors in the IC device. A via may have one or more widened ends to increase capacitance and decrease resistance. A transistor may include a source electrode over a source region and a drain electrode over a drain region. The source region or drain region may be in a support structure that has one or more semiconductor materials. The via has a body section and two end sections, the body section is between the end sections. One or both end sections are wider than the body section, e.g., by approximately 6 nanometers to approximately 12 nanometers. One end section is connected to an interconnect at the backside of the support structure. The other end section is connected to a jumper, which is connected to the source electrode or drain electrode.

Abstract: Devices, transistor structures, systems, and techniques are described herein related to providing a backside passivation layer on a transistor semiconductor material. The semiconductor material is between source and drain structures, and a gate structure is adjacent a channel region of the semiconductor material. The passivation layer is formed as a conformal insulative layer on a backside of the semiconductor material and is then treated using an ozone/UV cure to remove trap charges from the semiconductor material.
