摘要:
Multiple integrated circuits (ICs) die, from different wafers, can be picked-and-placed, front-side planarized using a vacuum applied to a planarizing disk, and attached to each other or a substrate. The streets between the IC die can be filled, and certain techniques or fixtures allow application of monolithic semiconductor wafer processing for interconnecting different die. High density I/O connections between different IC die can be obtained using structures and techniques for aligning vias to I/O structures, and programmably routing IC I/O lines to appropriate vias. Existing IC die can be retrofitted for such interconnection to other IC die, such as by using similar techniques or tools.

A configurable device uses a plurality of parallel units which are made up of cells for storing individual bits of information. These cells are identified by address signals and selected to be interrogated. The selected cells are interrogated to determine information stored therein and a signal is produced which corresponds to that information. If a nonfunctional cell is detected within a parallel unit, that parallel unit may be decoupled from the interrogator. The remainder of the parallel units are shifted to different interrogators thereby effectively eliminating use of the decoupled parallel unit which contains the nonfunctional cell.

A CMOS output buffer provides high drive current without sacrificing speed and with minimum output signal distortion due to internal chip ground bounce or output signal ringing. The output buffer includes a pull-up circuit and a pull-down circuit which distribute switching current spikes over time. The pull-up circuit includes a P-channel FET and an N-channel FET connected in parallel between an output terminal and supply terminal V.sub.DD, with an inverter connected between the gates of the N-channel and P-channel FETs to provide the proper phase for the P-channel FET as well as delaying turn-on of the P-channel FET with respect to turn-on of the N-channel FET. The pull-down circuit includes a pair of N-channel FETs connected in parallel between the output terminal and ground, and a delay resistance connected between their gates so that turn-on of one of the N-channel FETs is delayed with respect to the other.

An IGFET is presented which includes a relatively low resistance path across the source-substrate junction to prevent parasitic bipolar effects while maintaining high component density in integrated circuits. The low resistance path across the source-substrate junction is formed by various methods including damaging the crystal structure at the junction interface, supplementing the damaged junction with a heavily doped region underlying the source region and spiking metallurgy. A particular application of the invention allows the prevention of latchup in CMOS devices. The invention also allows the source region of an IGFET to serve the dual functions of a source for a MOSFET as well as an ohmic contact to the underlying well or substrate.
