    Abstract: A test access architecture is presented for 3D-SICs that allows for both pre-bond die testing and post-bond stack testing. The test access architecture is based on a modular test approach, in which the various dies, their embedded IP cores, the inter-die TSV-based interconnects, and the external l/Os can be tested as separate units to allow optimization of the 3D-SIC test flow. The architecture builds on and reuses existing design for test (DfT) hardware at the core, die, and product level. Test access is provided to an individual die stack via a test structure called a wrapper unit.

    Abstract: A nanostructure according to the invention comprises a pair of nanosheet or nanowire transistors (1,1') configured to conduct charge by carriers of opposite polarity (such as n and p type carriers), wherein one of the two transistors is provided with inner spacers (10) and the other is not provided with inner spacers. The inventors found that depending on the type of charge carrier, the omission of the inner spacers may offer an unexpected improvement in the admittance of the device that outweighs the negative impact of the inner spacer omission. This is the case for example in a Si-channel PMOS nanosheet transistor (1'), whereas in a Si channel NMOS nanosheet transistor (1), the omission of the inner spacers has a negative effect on the parasitic capacitance that outweighs any benefits of the inner spacer omission. A preferred embodiment of the invention therefore includes complementary NMOS and PMOS silicon transistors (1,1'), wherein the NMOS is provided with inner spacers (10), whereas the PMOS is not provided with inner spacers.
