Abstract: A portion of a bulk silicon (Si) is formed into a fin, having a fin base and, on the fin base, an in-process fin. The fin base is doped Si and the in-process fin is silicon germanium (SiGe). The in-process SiGe fin has a source region and a drain region. Boron is in-situ doped into the drain region and into the source region. Optionally, boron is in-situ doped by forming an epi-layer, having boron, on the drain region and on the source region, and drive-in annealing to diffuse boron in the source region and the drain region.

Abstract: Disclosed are packages that may include first and second substrates with first and second chips therebetween. The first chip may be a logic chip and the second chip may be a processing near memory (PNM) chip. The active side of the first chip may face the first substrate and the active side of the second chip may face the second substrate. The first chip may be encapsulated by a first mold, and the second chip may be encapsulated by a second mold. The first and/or the second molds may be thermally conductive. A third chip (e.g., a memory) may be on the second substrate opposite the second chip. The second substrate may include very short vertical connections that connect the active sides of the second and third chips.
