  • Publication number: 20250113561
    Abstract: In stacked transistor device, such as a complementary field-effect-transistor (CFET) device, different strain materials may be used in different layers, e.g., a tensile material is deposited in a first isolation region in the PMOS layer, and a compressive material is deposited in second isolation region in the NMOS layer. The strain materials may be stacked, such that the second isolation region may be positioned over the first isolation region. In some cases, in one or both of the isolation regions, a liner material is included between the strain material and the source and drain regions. Certain embodiments provide independent tuning of strain forces in a stacked transistor device. Different materials are selected for different layers in the stacked device to provide favorable performance enhancement or tuning (e.g., adjustment of the threshold voltage) in NMOS and PMOS layers.

  • Publication number: 20250113573
    Abstract: A low strain transfer protective layer is formed on a transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) monolayer to enable the transfer of the TMD monolayer from a growth substrate to a target substrate with little or no strain-induced damage to the TMD monolayer. Transfer of a TMD monolayer from a growth substrate to a target substrate comprises two transfers, a first transfer from the growth substrate to a carrier wafer and a second transfer from the carrier wafer to the target substrate. Transfer of the TMD monolayer from the growth substrate to the carrier wafer comprises mechanically lifting off the TMD monolayer from the growth substrate. The low strain transfer protective layer can limit the amount of strain transferred from the carrier wafer to the TMD monolayer during lift-off. The carrier wafer and protective layer are separated from the TMD monolayer after attachment of the TMD monolayer to the target substrate.

  • Publication number: 20250113430
    Abstract: Technologies for reducing the impact of inductors on electrical traces are disclosed. In an illustrative embodiment, conductive ink is applied in a silk screen layer on top of a solder mask of a circuit board. The conductive ink forms shield regions under and near where inductors are placed and/or where a power plane is routed. The conductive shield regions may be coupled to a ground plane in the circuit board. The conductive shield regions can partially shield traces under and near the inductor, reducing the noise induced on nearby traces. The conductive shield regions can allow traces for high-speed input/output signals to be routed closer to the inductor, reducing the size, number of layers, and/or cost of the circuit board. In some embodiments, the conductive shield regions can shield emissions from the power plane, reducing interference on antennas of a device.

  • Publication number: 20250104179
    Abstract: A disaggregated processor package can be configured to accept interchangeable chiplets. Interchangeability is enabled by specifying a standard physical interconnect for chiplets that can enable the chiplet to interface with a fabric or bridge interconnect. Chiplets from different IP designers can conform to the common interconnect, enabling such chiplets to be interchangeable during assembly. The fabric and bridge interconnects logic on the chiplet can then be configured to confirm with the actual interconnect layout of the on-board logic of the chiplet. Additionally, data from chiplets can be transmitted across an inter-chiplet fabric using encapsulation, such that the actual data being transferred is opaque to the fabric, further enable interchangeability of the individual chiplets. With such an interchangeable design, cache or DRAM memory can be inserted into memory chiplet slots, while compute or graphics chiplets with a higher or lower core count can be inserted into logic chiplet slots.

  • Publication number: 20250107156
    Abstract: Techniques are provided herein to form an integrated circuit having dielectric material formed in cavities beneath source or drain regions. The cavities may be formed within subfin portions of semiconductor devices. In one such example, a FET (field effect transistor) includes a gate structure extending around a fin or any number of nanowires of semiconductor material. The semiconductor material may extend in a first direction between source and drain regions while the gate structure extends over the semiconductor material in a second direction substantially orthogonal to the first direction. A dielectric fill may be formed in a recess beneath the source or drain regions, or a dielectric liner may be formed on sidewalls of the recess, to prevent epitaxial growth of the source or drain regions from the subfins. Removal of the semiconductor subfin from the backside may then be performed without causing damage to the source or drain regions.

    Abstract: Technologies for tunable lasers in a photonic integrated circuit (PIC) die are disclosed. In an illustrative embodiment, a lidar system includes a PIC die with two lasers. The PIC die includes a switch to switch between the output of the first laser and the output of the second laser. Each laser can be tuned to different peaks of a Bragg grating in the cavity of the laser, and each laser can be frequency swept within the peak of the Bragg grating. In operation, one laser is changed to a different peak of the Bragg grating and allowed to stabilize while the other laser is selected for output and frequency swept. In this manner, one laser stabilizes while the other one is used. Such a lidar system can implement frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) lidar with a stable, compact laser source.

    Abstract: Described herein is a technique in which a plurality of distortion meshes compensate for radial and chromatic aberrations created by optical lenses. The plurality of distortion meshes may include different lens specific parameters that allow the distortion meshes to compensate for chromatic aberrations created within received images. The plurality of distortion meshes may correspond to a red color channel, green color channel, or blue color channel to compensate for the chromatic aberrations. The distortion meshes may also include shaped distortions and grids to compensate for radial distortions, such as pin cushion distortions. In one example, the system uses a barrel-shaped distortion and a triangulation grid to compensate for the distortions created when the received image is displayed on a lens.
