  • Patent number: 10475815
    Abstract: An integrated circuit which enables lower cost yet provides superior performance compared to standard silicon integrated circuits by utilizing thin film transistors (TFTs) fabricated in BEOL. Improved memory circuits are enabled by utilizing TFTs to improve the density and access in a three dimensional circuit design which minimizes die area. Improved I/O is enabled by eliminating the area on the surface of the semi-conductor dedicated to I/O and allowing many times the number of I/O available. Improved speed and lower power are also enabled by the shortened metal routing lines and reducing leakage.
