Abstract:
An integrated circuit device having a plurality of stacked dies is described. The integrated circuit device comprises a first die of the plurality of stacked dies having an input/output element configured to receive an input signal, the first die comprising a signal driver circuit configured to provide the input signal to each die of the plurality of stacked dies and a chip select circuit for generating a plurality of chip select signals for the plurality of stacked dies; and a second die of the plurality of stacked dies coupled to the first die, the second die having a function block configured to the receive the input signal; wherein the second die receives the input signal in response to a chip select signal of the plurality of chip select signals that corresponds to the second die. A method of implementing an integrated circuit device having a plurality of stacked dies is also described.
Abstract:
An inverter includes: a PMOS comprising: a p-type source region, a p-type drain region, a p-channel region between the p-type source region and the p-type drain region, and a PMOS metal gate region; a NMOS, comprising: an n-type source region, an n-type drain region, an n-channel region between the n-type source region and the n-type drain region, and a NMOS metal gate region; an insulating layer above the p-channel region and the n-channel region, wherein the PMOS metal gate region and the NMOS metal gate region are above the insulating layer; and a gate contact between the NMOS metal gate region and the PMOS metal gate region.
